Over the past four years, Wynnum Fringe has evolved into an award-winning cultural staple on Queensland’s event calendar. On the menu for this year is the four-day Wynnum Fringe Taster, being held from September 26 to 29, following Brisbane Festival.
Then, from 2025 onwards, the Wynnum Fringe will take place in July, moving from its November home dates. ?Prepare to be entertained by award-winning comedian Melanie Bracewell, alongside the De Bortoli Wines Taste Cabaret, and the Dinosaur Cupcake Pyjama Party. As well as many more tantalising acts, including an outdoor bar, food trucks, roaming performers, a caravan stage presented by AMPOL, and more.
“Wynnum Fringe has experienced phenomenal growth over the past five years, and to present a lineup like this in our own venue is a dream come true,” said Tom Oliver, Founder/CEO/Artistic Director of Wynnum Fringe. “The Taster is a celebration for our community of artists, technicians, audiences, sponsors, Government partners and volunteers who have made this journey with us.
“After four years staging Wynnum Fringe in November, our luck with Mother Nature has come to an end. November is just about the worst month to hold an extended, outdoor event; it’s humid, stormy and wet and windy. Last year we had to cancel a number of shows. So, we’ve listened to Mother Nature and from 2025 onwards, the Wynnum Fringe will be in July, which of course ties in nicely for when we welcome the world for the 2032 Olympic Games,” said Tom.
“This year, we have the Wynnum Fringe Taster as we transition to the new date, and also, as we move into our new home, the iconic Augathella Spiegeltent, which still needs a lot of work, but will have its bare bones outing in September, and together we can manifest the grand design of what it could be,” he said.
