Why be a Sydney Fringe Venue?

So why be a Sydney Fringe Venue, in between advocating for our sector, leading discussions on Sydney’s 24-hour economy, and improving Sydneys cultural landscape we’ve been busy scouring our City for the BEST talent, buildings and partners (that’s you) to bring together. The Fringe benefits are never-ending.

In 2023, we will elevate the City as one of the best festival cities in the world. From harbourside activations to block parties that energise precincts, we’ll be setting the suburbs alight across the inner west, CBD, inner east and Western Sydney.
