As one of the leading arts festivals in the world, Adelaide Fringe has the privilege of creating one of the most thrilling, inclusive and impactful arts festivals in the world - something we couldn’t achieve without our dedicated volunteers. We want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the 145 Fringe Vollies who contributed 2,022 hours to make last year’s season so successful. To you and every volunteer who has participated in previous years, you make it all possible. 

If you’re considering returning as a volunteer or want to convince a friend to become part of the Fringe family, here are 4 reasons why being a Fringe Vollie is an experience like no other.

It comes with Fringe benefits! 

When you become a Fringe Volunteer you automatically receive a complimentary Fringe membership, welcoming you to a world of perks. Fringe members receive the latest news, special offers, 2for1 deals and competitions delivered straight to their inbox.

You join a close knit family. 

When you become a volunteer, you help stitch the fabric of one of the most diverse, close-knit and supportive arts communities in the country. Adelaide Fringe is a family, and anyone who helps sew the rich tapestry of this incredible festival joins a rich history of incredible alumni and contributors. 

You help create accessibility.  

When it comes to joining the party, our Vollies help ensure everyone gets to participate. With inclusivity and accessibility a cornerstone of Adelaide Fringe, our Vollies work to help address the barriers that people with a lived experience of Disability and their support networks face. It’s through embracing diversity and a strong sense of community that we are able to throw one of the most exciting festivals in the world. 

You become part of the story. 

As Australia's Biggest Arts Festival, Adelaide Fringe creates a global platform for artists, venues and producers to showcase their work.
