Nau Mai ki te Ahurei Mōwaho o Tamaki Makaurau 2022

Auckland Fringe 2022 is just around the corner! Registrations are open until June 4th! So keep your eyes peeled, and think about what Fringy business you want to present in Auckland Fringe 2022!

This year will be our first year with our new dates - August 30th - September 17th. We want Fringe to be a celebration of all of the mahi, creation, development, devising and collaboration that has been done throughout the year - big and small!

From the beginning of 2020 - we wanted to understand how we could create a more dynamic and specified “Tāmaki Makaurau flavour” for our festival. What could that look like under an international and national Fringe banner? Functioning in a covid response world has allowed us to view how we deliver with diverse perspectives. We have spent most of the past year mapping, what a more supportive and inclusive Fringe Festival with multi-faceted representation can look like, for our artistic landscape, across Tāmaki Makaurau - and dont worry! All the artistic benefits that Auckland Fringe could offer will not disappear, they have just shifted.

We believe we have landed on the right pathway for positive and beneficial change. Since the pandemic hit, change has been forced on us left, right, and centre, but in this, we have the opportunity and control to incite positive change for ourselves and our artistry.

In unity, we can only but flourish and win!
