FRINGE WILL BE BACK IN 2027!

We’re taking a little extra time. Big call, we know, but this gives us time to plan, prep, and make sure the festival is full of Whangārei energy.

Got an idea? Send it our way — mini-events, workshops, and sparks will be happening all year.

Whangārei Fringe Festival 2027, 24 September – 10 October. SEE YOU THERE! 

LITTLE LOST ART FESTIVAL 2026

Step into a world of small wonders and delightful discoveries.

​From 1st to 13th October 2026, the Whangārei Festivals Trust invites you to explore this celebration of intimate performances, whimsical installations, and playful surprises hidden in secret spaces, cosy venues, and pop-up locations around Whangārei.

The Little Lost Art Festival is the Whangārei Fringes’ little sister—for those who love to wander, wonder, and find magic in forgotten spaces.
