BeforeOctober 2020, theconcept of aFringe festival wasnew to many Northlanders –sothe first WhangāreiFringe wasa sleeper hit. Afterthe disappointing cancellation of 2021, finallyitʼstime to light up thecity again.

Fringe festivals are the placetosee new and surprising work in many genres.WhangāreiFringe covers everything from theatre, art, comedy and circus to risque late-night shows,music,digital tech, workshops and more.
Over 17 days and 21 venues,thereare morethan 120 weirdand wonderful events –manyofthem free, koha or low-cost, so people can go to several events Half the events arebyTeTai Tokerau locals,and some topnotch performers arecoming from around the countrytoo With so much to choose from, it can be difficult to decide what to see –so here’saguide to some of the festival’s highlights
Sci-fi drama ALONE has won over audiences (and collected awards) forits gripping tale of feminism, climatechange, David Bowie,and whether tomatosaucebelongs on instant noodles.The world premiereof TheWedding
