A huge thanks to our many supporters who made this year’s Victoria Fringe such a success – the tireless army of volunteers, the wonderful Fringe artists, the fringe-loving audience members, our sponsors and funders, and all those who made generous individual donations to the Fringe cause.  We broke all the records this year with a total attendance of 27,000 people (4,000 more than last year) and individual donations reaching $8,651.70 during the festival.

We look forward to Fringing with you again next year. But don’t be a stranger – keep in touch with us via Facebook, twitter, our year-round website, our e-news or better still, pop into Intrepid Theatre to say hi.
