Fringe in the Flinders - Quorn
Fringe in the Flinders - Flinders Ranges Council, SA The event: The inaugural Fringe in the Flinders brought a slice of Adelaide Fringe magic to the outback, touring Quorn and Hawker across a single action-packed weekend. Quorn's brand-new Performing and Visual Arts Precinct hosted day one on March 18, before the festival rolled into Hawker's Flinders Food Co the following day, with music, circus, comedy, aerial shows, street performances and shows in Bamboozled's boutique circus tent, The Little Palais. Fringe in the Flinders proved you don't need the city to get the full Fringe experience - just a great afternoon and fabulous performers!
What we did:
Working to a brief built around giving back to the Flinders Ranges community, we delivered Fringe in the Flinders from the ground up, within budget and on brief.
Programmed, scheduled, contracted and managed all artists across the festival
Built the production schedule and assembled the full production team
Coordinated production, performers and venue logistics throughout delivery
Developed the marketing campaign and branding concepts for the festival
Worked on the ground with local businesses and community groups to shape a genuinely community-inclusive festival
Liaised closely with the Flinders Ranges Council events team at every stage
Event impact:
Fringe in the Flinders gave the Flinders Ranges a taste of big-city Fringe energy without leaving home, turning Quorn's new arts precinct (and, in its debut year, Hawker's Flinders Food Co) into a pop-up festival hub. By building the program hand-in-hand with local businesses and community groups, Bamboozled delivered an event that felt genuinely of the Flinders Ranges, not just visiting it. The community response spoke for itself — what started as a one-off has now run for four years running, with Bamboozled returning year after year by popular demand and Fringe in the Flinders firmly establishing itself as a beloved fixture on Quorn's cultural calendar.
Testimony
The Flinders Ranges Council acknowledges that the extraordinary success of our inaugural Fringe in the Flinders event can be attributed largely to the experience and expertise of Bamboozled Productions. The Bamboozled team went the extra mile to ensure performances were of a world-class standard, and suited the audience’s broad demographic. Bamboozled genuinely shared our passion for the project and delivered an outstanding event. We would not hesitate to engage Bamboozled Productions to produce a follow-up Fringe in the Flinders in the future.
