How did Adelaide Fringe start? What is with the festival’s crazy posters? This is a one-hour walk through the city centre that reveals how it came to be the juggernaut it is today. Students will gain chronological understanding of how the festival has grown, along with appreciating Adelaide’s reputation as a festival city and our place in the festival world. Guide Katina has previously volunteered and worked for Adelaide Fringe.

Students are encouraged to engage through taking photos, asking and answering questions, and taking part in a quiz along the route. They will also get take-home quote handouts from key festival decision-makers across the tour.

After the tour, teachers will receive a link to Adelaide’s Street Art Explosion map via email. This can be shared with students to encourage art exploration in their own time.
