Since going annual in 2007, the Adelaide Fringe has big plans which will continue to see the event grow from strength to strength.
Dates for the Adelaide Fringe to 2012 are:
2008: Friday 22 February – Sunday 16 March
2009: Friday 27 February – Sunday 22 March
2010: Friday 19 February – Sunday 14 March
2011: Friday 18 February – Sunday 13 March
2012: Friday 24 February – Sunday 18 March
“We have set dates for the next five years so that we can provide consistency for touring artists and to solidify our position as an ‘arts market’ opportunity in the southern hemisphere,” said Ms Verschoor.
“It will also allow us to firmly establish the Fringe on the annual national tourism calendar,” she said.
The Adelaide Fringe is the second largest Fringe in the world (after Edinburgh) and largest arts festival in the southern hemisphere. It is now an annual event which attracts more than 4000 artists from all over the world.
The Fringe attracts audiences nearing a million people at ticketed events and free events like Fringe Family Weekend (March 1 and 2) and the massive Opening Night Street Party (Friday Feb 22.)
With only four months until the 2008 Fringe kicks off, the Fringe Team is gearing up for what promises to be another memorable event.
The 2008 Fringe guide will be available on Wednesday Jan 9 in The Advertiser newspaper.
