Attention world - prepare for the yearly pilgrimage to Wynnum, Queensland, where the arts come alive, and Everyone’s A Wynnum, baby! WYNNUM FRINGE runs this Thursday September 26 to 29!
Over the past four years, Wynnum Fringe has evolved into an award-winning cultural staple on Queensland’s event calendar. This year however, it’ll be a little different! This year the on the menu is the four-day Wynnum Fringe Taster, being held from September 26 to 29 in a brand new home - The Augathella Spiegeltent. Thanks to an extraordinary crowdfunding campaign, the iconic Augathella Spiegeltent has travelled 800km from Outback Queensland to Wynnum, and has been lovingly refurnished, to be the home of the Wynnum Fringe Taster, and will host its first audience in over 11 years.
Following the world record-setting sing-along of "The Wynnum Takes It All" in 2023, Wynnum Fringe and ABC Radio Brisbane are teaming up again for the sequel – “Everyone’s a Wynnum (baby),” a joyful homage inspired by the classic hit from Hot Chocolate. The Augathella Spiegeltent is at 166 Bay Terrace on a site generously donated by BMD Construction and is the new heart of Wynnum Fringe. With the buzz building, tickets for this taster event are expected to sell out quickly, so online booking is essential.
