The essence of Fringe is to provide a platform for, and direct energy

towards, the unique arts community that defines this fabulous town

Castlemaine! Big Sister, the Castlemaine State Festival, has a great line up

and is going to be amazing. And Fringe has fabulous moves of her own!

With a rock solid program of local talent, the Castlemaine Fringe is a

celebration of the more adventurous side of life! Consisting of artists and

community members, Castlemaine Fringe is a not for profit, volunteer

organisation providing access and support for artists, musicians, and

creatives in the central Victorian region.

The Festival's values of diversity and inclusion reflect the community of our

region and the events and activities on offer: exhibitions, music, theatre, a

garden party in the Botanic Gardens, local film, studio visits, art debates,

and more…

See you on the dance floor!
