Need something to do over the long weekend but not the planning type? Not to worry, we’ve got you covered with a 2 hour road trip to Waikerie - that’s about the length of a good podcast episode. 

River Fringe rolls into Waikerie on Sunday 13 March, packed full of only the good stuff! Join us on the Waikerie Riverfront for a day of markets, food, aerial acrobatics, comedy and more. Whether it’s a trip with your mates or a family getaway, we guarantee you’ll have a good time.
 
The hilarious comedy duo from The Jack and Annie Show will be joined by a local aerial artist from Fit to Fly, Dolly Parton Dance Party (get ready for some boot-scootin’ fun!), alternative funk rockers and theatre makers George Glass, and writer and performer of 16 solo comedy shows, Gordon Southern

The fun doesn’t end there… Check out the range of events happening in Waikerie below!

Ivan Aristeguietua
Australia’s favourite Venezuelan is one ‘Happy Papi’, and with a spring in his step, he is back on stage where he belongs. Like a chorizo in a vegan burrito, happiness can be found in the most unexpected of places.
As seen on 'Have You Been Paying Attention?', ‘Hughesy We Have A Problem’ and the Melbourne Comedy Festival Galas.

Riverfront Art Gallery

With river views as stunning as the artworks, a visit to this unique & private gallery is a must during RIVER FRINGE. Original artworks all created onsite, including kiln-fired glass art, canvas art works and award winning childrens books that teach young ones to care for the environment. Riverglen View Art Studio & Gallery is tucked away in an incredibly private and remote natural setting, but is a short drive from most Riverland towns. Take a short stroll to a breathtaking Cliff-top lookout.
