How do I become a Fringe Venue? 


Adelaide Fringe is an open access arts festival with more than 8,000 artists performing across 500+ venues all over South Australia. To be a Fringe venue, you need to be registered with us, and hosting a registered show (or 20!). Registration happens on our online registration platform AVR.

As an open access festival, we don’t book artists or shows for you. This means you can go wild in curating a program that’s unique and favourable to your venue and audience. Play to your strengths and find your niche!
