Dunedin Fringe Festival

The Dunedin Fringe Festival, or Dunedin Fringe, is an 11-day fringe theatre festival held each March in Dunedin, New Zealand. The first Dunedin Fringe was in the year 2000.[1]

In addition to theatrical performances, the festival hosts dancers and live music.[2] In 2016, artists produced 55 shows.[3] The festival is open-access, which means that anyone who registers may perform.

The venues are in and around the Octagon, the city centre of Dunedin. Among these are Allen Hall at the University of Otago; The Fortune Theatre;[4] the Octagon Athenaeum; and Dog With Two Tails, a nearby café and bar.[5]
