Street performers bring life to the streets and corners of Adelaide. Adelaide Fringe offers the opportunity for local and international street performers, buskers, and entertainers to captivate and WOW audiences.
The East End Unleashed program welcomes street performers to perform on the bustling Rundle Street during the street's weekend road closures. Each season there are additional locations scattered throughout the city and beyond for street performers to perform and play.
Registering as a Street Performer ensures you are in the know and get the most out of your time at Adelaide Fringe.
