This year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival calls on everyday citizens to become Action Heroes – not caped crusaders, but powerful participants in shaping the kind of world we want to live in. Across three weeks of exciting and boundary-pushing art, the Festival asks Melburnians to step up, to dance, to make, to move, to play – to take action. Whether you’re two-stepping or stepping out of your comfort zone, this year’s Festival celebrates creative courage in all its forms.

Melbourne Fringe Festival is Victoria’s longest-running multi-arts festival, platforming the vital voices of our brightest artistic talent for 43 years. Its inclusive programs platform anyone with an artistic project to share, particularly working to platform First Nations artists, d/Deaf and Disabled creatives, queer storytellers, emerging youth perspectives, and international risk-takers. It offers a focused snapshot of urgent, ambitious art being made right now.
