Where We Are

The Sydney Fringe has carved its home in the Inner West as a project of the Newtown Entertainment Precinct, where there's the highest concentration of independent theatres and live performance spaces in Sydney - and the home of more working artists than any community in Australia.

The red beating heart of Sydney's vital bohemian culture, The Newtown Precinct is a mashup of ethnicity, sexuality and lifestyles. It's the alternative centrepiece of Sydney's culture, inhabited by punks and professors, artists and students and singers - a magnet for all those wanting to try something new, and a dynamic hub of modern urban life.

The Inner West offers ten theatres, fifteen live music venues, twenty five pubs. More than twenty art galleries, more than two hundred speciality stores, more than 160 restaurants across 23 international cuisines - and, somehow, more than 24 hours a day of asskicking awesomeness.
