FRINGE WORLD is one of the most popular annual events in Perth, annually entertaining hundreds of thousands of people with an incredible array of live entertainment.

There’s something for everyone at FRINGE WORLD; from comedy, music and musicals, circus and much more, plus - ticket prices are great value so you can enjoy multiple shows in one night out.

In a global landscape of more than 400 Fringe festivals, FRINGE WORLD is the third largest Fringe on the planet, and in terms of tickets sold, Western Australia’s largest annual arts event.

FRINGE WORLD takes pride in our hybrid festival model, combining Open Access and Part Programmed elements. This model allows us to create a dynamic platform for artists, presenters, and venues to collaborate, resulting in a diverse array of performances that cater to all tastes and preferences.

Open Access allows artists from around the world and venues from all across greater Perth to register to participate.

Fringe has been running since 2011 and we hope to see you at the next Festival!

FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 will take place from 21 January - 15 February. Mark your calendars!

FRINGE WORLD Festival is presented by ARTRAGE Inc, a not-for-profit registered charity that is one of the oldest arts organisations in WA.

Alongside FRINGE WORLD Festival, ARTRAGE also currently produces Rooftop Movies (est. 2012).

The ARTRAGE Strategic Plan and its organisational Purpose, Vision, Mission and The Way We Work statement informs how the Festival is delivered.

ARTRAGE Purpose: To bring artists and audiences together to share in extraordinary experiences  

ARTRAGE Vision: That the arts are embraced as an integral cultural driver.  

ARTRAGE Mission: To create spaces where creativity thrives and where artists and audiences connect.

FRINGE WORLD is an open-access festival, which means we’re all about giving artists the freedom to explore and share their ideas. For the 2026 FRINGE WORLD Festival, ARTRAGE is producing the program in the Pleasure Garden, Liberty and the State Theatre Centre of WA. ARTRAGE encourages a range of events to present in the Festival and is devoted to making the FRINGE WORLD Festival a presentation of high quality, diverse arts, cultural work and creative experiences by local, national and international artists and arts companies.

The Festival guide has been your go-to for all events in the Festival, but we are doing things a bit differently and not producing a printed guide.

We made this call to allow for greater flexibility for our artists so they didn't have a hard deadline and can still participate even if they come on board in December or early January.
 

But don't worry, because the FRINGE WORLD app features handy functionality to make it super easy to find shows that you'll love. From scheduling, personalised show recommendations, e-ticketing, maps and our shake to find a random show - the app is APPsolutely essential to download.
