Festival Park is located at Market Square in the Queen Victoria Market Precinct , 391 Queen Street, Melbourne. It's another way to experience Melbourne Fringe amidst the atmosphere of Melbourne's iconic market at this pop-up play space. See here for 12 Fringe events held at this venue from 3-29 October 2023. Catch world-class acrobatics and side-splitting comedy and cabaret acts, while enjoying the beer garden under the stars, and delicious food from local food trucks.

Kids score with 6 of the 12 shows for kids, as follows. Winner of the Best Children's Event, Adelaide Fringe Weeklies 2021, 2023, Circus The Show is here to astound and amaze the whole family with world-class illusions, tumbling acrobats, aerialists and more. Kaboom! is an explosive science show with the maddest of mad scientists - Magnus Danger Magnus. His very first time in Melbourne, don't miss out! Prehysterical follows three foolish Neanderthals as they struggle to survive the harsh natural world. Spooktacular by Circus Confusion is a silly spooky twist on traditional circus. This is the Halloween Edition that's designed to give kids chills and giggles.

No doubt the F Word in this show is a drawcard for the kids to come and check it out. You'll be blown away by this explosive event suited to all ages. It'll have the entire family rolling in the aisles with laughter. Absurd, goofy and action-packed, The Listies bring you the final season of ROFL . Don't miss seeing these Australian maestros of kidult comedy perform this show for the final time.

The adults have just as many to choose from with a special Magic Show for Adults only . Aside from comedy, illusions and dangerous stunts, it also has a cheeky hint of nudity. Speaking of nudity, Garry Starr in Greece Lightening may come as a surprise if you've never seen him before. There's more than a hint of nudity as Starr attempts to perform all of Greek Mythology as you've never seen it performed before. If you'd like a touch of Norse Mythology, see Mythos: Ragnarok - a battle of the Gods that blends mythology, comedy and full-contact fight scenes. While on the subject of mythology, watch Godz for a hedonistic dive head-first into the lives of the ancient Gods of Mount Olympus. All Whoopsies No Daisies - After Dark alludes to cabaret, but not as you know it; and of course Matador! - dangerous, seductive, fast-paced and a lot of heart in a new journey of dance, circus and burlesque. You have your entertainment cut out for you; all you need to do is start booking. Do check out the rest of the Fringe Program on the website , for more entertaining experiences.
