Are you thinking about presenting a show in Dunedin Fringe Festival 2027?

By Dunedin Fringe Festival | Posted: Monday Sep 14, 2026

We all know having a little extra pūtea goes a long way to success so please do consider applying for a Fringe grant to support your project.

There are three categories:
- Moana Fringe Grant
- Māori Fringe Grant
- General Fringe Grant

The panel will consider:
Programme diversity – The work will add to a broad and diverse festival programme. Applications from under-represented artforms (such as dance) or from historically excluded or marginalised groups are the priority.

Access - The work enables members of disabled, neurodiverse or D/deaf communities to participate in the arts as practitioners and/or audience.

Key dates to note:
- Grant applications close: Mon 12 October
- Fringe registrations are open: Wed 7 October - Wed 25 November
- Dunedin Fringe Festival 2027: Thu 4 - Sun 14 March
