Fringe Opening Night Party - Forums

Thousands are expected to converge on Rundle Street and Rymill Park (Mullawirraburrka) for an extraordinary night of live music, dancing, art and street performances on Thursday 8 March.

Whether you want to watch some of the world’s best buskers, catch a glimpse of performances by Fringe registered artists, check out installations by community groups or just dance to some of the world’s best music…the first annual Adelaide Fringe Opening Night Party marks the beginning of Fringe 2007 and three weeks of ensuing revelry. The streets will be closed off from 6am on Thursday morning. Road closures will include Rundle Street (from Frome Road to Dequetteville Tce) and East Tce (from Grenfell St to North Tce).

From 6-9pm, Pod stage performances, roving street artists and buskers provide a focal point on Rundle Street. During this time, a ‘Radio Stack’, a unique ‘Wishing Pole’ of pigs and a series of ‘House’ installations by community groups will provide some key focal points along the way until the main stage activities take over at 8pm.

From 8pm – 2am, Rymill Park (Mullawirraburrka) will play host to thousands of fanatical Fringe lovers ready to dance and devour the main stage entertainment which includes; international act Serge Santiago.

Fringe Director Christie Anthoney says “The stage line up is stella! We are very pleased to confirm Serge Santiago, not to mention Infusion, Kid Confucius and DJ Sveta. The first annual Adelaide fringe will start with a high energy celebration!”
