If the idea of FRINGE WORLD fills you with equal parts excitement and “where do I even start?”, good news. There is now a very Fringe-approved way to experience the festival without overthinking it.

It is called Walk the Fringe, and it is basically your permission slip to wander, discover, and stumble into great shows along the way.

Supported by the City of Perth, Walk the Fringe give you a series of guided Fringe adventures. Instead of trying to plan every show and venue yourself, you can follow curated walking routes that link performances, pop-up venues, food, and bars into one very good night out.

Think less planning, more roaming. Less scrolling, more discovering. You choose a route, head out, and let the festival happen around you!

At the heart of Walk the Fringe are the Fringe Field Guides. Each Walk the Fringe route is built around a different mood, interest, or energy level, so there is no “wrong” way to do it.

You might find yourself:

These are expert-curated Field Guides, designed by people who know where the good stuff is and how to connect it all.

FRINGE WORLD can feel big. Walk the Fringe makes it feel doable!

You do not need to know the venues. You do not need to understand the program. You do not need a master plan. You just pick a guide that matches your mood and go. Along the way, you will discover quirky spaces, unexpected performances, buzzing precincts, and all the things that make Fringe feel like Fringe.

Walk the Fringe is available throughout the festival and can be done at your own pace, on your own terms.

If you have ever thought “I want to do Fringe properly this year”, this is how you start.
