Make Summer 2027… a Fringe Summer.

Bunbury Fringe is back and 2027 is shaping up to be an exciting year! We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s festival will be led by a new, fresh face in the Fringe family: Kerry Shaw.

Kerry joins Bunbury Fringe with a deeply valued reputation for artistic direction and the delivery of events, productions and programs across Western Australia. Her passion for elevating the arts in regional WA shines through everything she does, creating cherished experiences for audiences and championing artists with real, meaningful opportunities.

With Kerry at the helm, Bunbury Fringe 2027 will bring a renewed energy, bold creativity and set the tone for the next decade ahead.
