Wynnum Fringe. It's a wrap.
The locals packed out the free festivities reaching capacity with a one-in one-out by about 5pm on the Saturday, milling around drinking trendy seltzers and watching the music and circus on the free stages. Many of the ticketed shows sold-out – no doubt in some small part due to the Covid-restrictions, yet I feel confident that tickets would have sold at double the capacity. Tickets were priced to welcome locals and artists and those with depleted 2020 incomes, and the range of shows was nicely balanced between safe choices and delicious wildcards. This was a very quick turnaround for such a fab festival!
Family friendly fun at Wynnum Fringe
What strikes me is how great this spot is for a Festival and the audience diversity completely representative of the Wynnum community. The street is filled with lots of families, young and old, great access provision for the prams and wheelchair users. There is enough shade, an abundance of helpful local-community volunteers who are easily located wearing Wynnum Festival Fringe shirts.
