MESSAGE FROM THE CO-DIRECTORS MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER
Wellington’s Fringe Festival reinforces my pride in Wellington. It’s quirky, fun, often ground-breaking and now an established 04 highlight of our arts calendar.
This year is particularly special as it’s the Festival’s I encourage everyone to support our wonderful 30th birthday. Fringe may be an adult, but it still creative sector. We all need to buy tickets, attend behaves like a delinquent teenager. freebies, and encourage our friends and family to do the same. Without our creatives, Fringe has grown and gone from strength to Wellington would revert to the grey city strength over the past 30 years. Fringe is a of yesteryear; something no one wants. So don’t showcase for our emerging artists, a test-run for miss out, and do make the most of this talent and ideas, a demonstration of our diversity, Fringe Festival. and an opportunity for performers to take risks. There’s something for everyone. You’ll love some Nicola Young shows, hate others and – at times – wonder what Arts & Culture portfolio holder it’s all about. Anything goes at Fringe!

MESSAGE FROM THE WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL Fringe 2020; the biggest yet. as a “Fringe Virgin”, there are two things to keep in mind; each Fringe production is an entrepreneurial experiment.
