The Melbourne Fringe Festival is back in 2023 with plenty of kid friendly shows!
This year’s Festival is an invitation to PLAY UP! – welcoming all Victorians to see Melbourne in a new light as their very own personal playroom. Notably, this year’s program features an extraordinary cohort of huge public art events
including a colossal eight-metre-tall bright gold, fully accessible playground swing at State Library Victoria forecourt that anyone can ride for free. Australian Arts Review
