Wynnum Fringe 2021

Overview

It only takes two tries to turn something into an annual event, so meet Brisbane's latest: Wynnum Fringe. First staged in 2020, and now Brissie's only yearly fringe festival, it's returning to the seaside suburb for six days of arts and culture between Tuesday, November 16–Sunday, November 21.

Here, you'll find everything from cabaret and comedy to music and dance — whether you're keen to see a duet with an electronic device, which is what Jacob Watton's Alexa, Turn on the Lights is all about; you're eager to see a live and boozy re-enactment of Twilight, complete with its own drinking game; or you like your theatre shows to double as haunted mansions. There's also Brisbane music royalty Ben Ely doing his thing; Killer Queens, which pays tribute to glam superstars such as Freddie Mercury, Prince and David Bowie; and Anthony Lawrence performing poetry along the Wynnum mangrove boardwalk.

Plus, across Friday, November 19–Saturday, November 20, Bay Terrace will shut down to normal traffic — and open up to two days of live tunes, street entertainment and food trucks. There'll even be a pop-up whiskey bar in an old church, if you need something else to say cheers to.
