It's show time: FRINGE is back to delight summer audiences

The FRINGE WORLD Festival will return in 2024, with the Cook Government providing a significant funding boost to help deliver more than 500 events this summer.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to delight in performances across comedy, cabaret, dance, circus and theatre as part of the 2024 festival, which will run from 19 January to 18 February.

The Cook Government will provide an additional $1.5 million, through Lotterywest, to FRINGE to support its 2024 season, which includes FRINGE Sunday Funday and a free community event that will bring families together for a fun-filled day with live entertainment. This brings the total support through Lotterywest for the 2024 festival to $2.7 million.

Additional Lotterywest support has been provided in response to challenges faced in recent years due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
