ONE DAY. SIX STAGES. ZERO ORDINARY.

Saturday 24 October 2026 | The Historic Village, Tauranga

10am to 4pm

Tauranga Fringe Festival is BACK — and it's going to be gloriously, wonderfully, unapologetically weird.

Think live music, street performance, puppetry, fashion, poetry, comedy, Pasifika performance and everything in between. This is grassroots arts at its most alive — built by Tauranga, for Tauranga. The Fringe is your one extraordinary day of fun, colour and community. 🙌

PERFORMERS — THIS IS YOUR STAGE.

Musicians | Dancers | Poets | Comedians | Fashionistas | Puppeteers | Circus Acts | DJs | Buskers | Magicians | Street Artists | The genre-defying and the gloriously unclassifiable —

We want YOU. The Fringe is open access — no gatekeepers, no genre police but leave the politics at the gate as it’s a day for unapologetic creative escapism! Performer registrations are open NOW. Come be part of something that keeps growing into something really special.
