The Adelaide Fringe Festival is an arts festival held annually in the South Australian capital of Adelaide. The event is the second-largest fringe festival in the world.
The Adelaide Fringe evolved in the early 1970s as a reaction against the Establishment and the then 'mainstream' Adelaide Festival of Arts. For many years the two events were inextricably linked and together created an atmosphere of electric excitement across the city. From 2007 onwards, the Adelaide Fringe will stand alone as an annual event in its own right.
The Adelaide Fringe is renowned for fresh ideas, risk, imagination, spontaneity and fun, and is widely regarded as one of the best events of its kind in the world.[citation needed] Compared to other fringe festivals, it is rivalled in size only by the Edinburgh Fringe. The Fringe programme generates massive enthusiasm, with audience attendance of nearly a million at ticketed shows and free events.
[edit] 2006
Reflected in the iconic poster design of a single origami crane made from previous Fringe posters, 2006's Fringe was held with the theme of re:generation. Held between 24 February and 19 March 2006, the festival included a diverse program. The 2006 Adelaide Fringe retained its position as one of the biggest arts festivals in the world, selling almost 190,000 tickets to over 500 events.
