Ready to do your Fringe homework? We've released the 2026 Artist Pack with a few formatting changes and extra information.

Our commitment to artists remains consistent and as such there will be no increase in fees as we understand that times are tough for everyone right now.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Sugarbag and Darwin Pride might be over but there's still plenty of LGBTQIASB+ creatives to support at Fringe next month.

We encourage you to look closer at the program with many shows being created, produced and performed by people from our community.

High five to the 20 artists who spent almost 6 hours on a Saturday learning about tech and producing a show 👏🏻

We could not have done these workshops and continue to provide additional resources and support without the Darwin International Airport Airport Development Group.
