211 9 F E B - 2 1 M A R

I’m thrilled to be welcoming you to the inaugural 2021 Prospect Fringe program and after the struggles of last year, who would have thought we’d be here now.

City of Prospect has long been known for our incredible arts and events program. When many other organisations have chosen to take a step back during COVID and these ever-changing times, our City has decided to deliver – and deliver BIG!

Adelaide Fringe is the largest open-access arts festival in the southern hemisphere so we’re delighted to showcase Prospect in a creative and interactive way. More than 30 events will be held in 12 venues across 31 days to deliver over 100 individual events and performances this February and March.

Featuring a diverse program of music, visual arts, cabaret, theatre, children’s events and comedy – there’s something for everyone.

This program includes an array of performers from various backgrounds and communities including First Nations, people with a disability, refugees, LGBTIQ+, full-time artists and debut performances.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this exciting and inspiring program. By continuing to deliver engaging and meaningful experiences for the community, we also support artists, creatives and local businesses.

City of Prospect values our important role bringing communities together and we look forward to entertaining you soon.

Mayor David O’Loughlin
