Melbourne Fringe Opening Night Gala

RMIT Culture invites you to taste-test this year's Melbourne Fringe Festival at the glamourous opening night celebration at The Capitol!

At RMIT's historic Capitol Theatre, you'll rub shoulders with the crème de la crème of the independent arts amidst a variety showcase featuring a tasty selection of snippets from the fest. 

There's no better way to kick off the Melbourne Fringe Festival than by gracing the purple carpet at the glorious Opening Night Gala. It's outrageous, glamorous, and very, very fringey. To celebrate the 2024 Festival theme 'Eat Your Art Out,' the dress code for the Gala is 'Culinary Couture.' Whether it's your chef whites or an inflatable hot dog costume, come along in your best food-themed finery. 

Whet your appetite for the 2024 Melbourne Fringe Festival with this scrumptious opening night celebration of all things Fringe. 

Supported by RMIT Culture, in partnership with Melbourne Fringe.
