“We’ve got an exciting program in the works with the Shop Windows Art Tour happening again, Scrabble Battle, our epic Reactivate Street Party, gigs, performances, exhibitions and more, it’s going to be huge” Jacqueline said.
“MAINfm is such a big part of our creative community and we’re so appreciative to have their support to help us promote the festival, and all the local artists that will be showcasing works,” she said.

ART AUCTION SATURDAY
Excitement is building for the Castlemaine Fringe Art Auction at The Taproom this Saturday November 26 at 5pm.
The Art Auction is the Fringe’s major fundraising event with funds going towards delivery of the festival in 2023.
“We have more than 60 local and established artists contributing works that will be available to the public for auction,“ Jacqueline said.
“The auction continues to grow, is a great way to secure yourself a piece of local art and is always a lively afternoon with a touch of friendly competition to keep things interesting,” she said.
The art auction is also a great way to support local talent as 50 per cent of sales go back to the artists.
Expect live music and roving performances with food and drinks for purchase.
Expressions of interest for the festival are currently open and Castlemaine Fringe Festival invites members of the community to host events, workshops, classes or performance.
