New South Wales’ largest independent arts festival, Sydney Fringe Festival, has confirmed it will be back for its sixth year in 2015.

The festival will return this September with its largest program yet. The organisers have added the booming locale of Erskineville as a new Festival Village, and will be presenting a range of pop-up spaces, shop fronts and street activations in the Inner West.

Sydney Fringe Festival celebrates local talent, giving artists, practitioners, oraters and inspirers a platform to present their creations. This year, the Fringe will present more than 300 productions across 50 venues.

Selected highlight events have been revealed as part of the first announcement, including a mini-festival within a festival hosted by The Chaser’s Giant Dwarf venue from Tuesday September 1 – Sunday September 13. There’ll also be a dedicated kids’ program and a Silent Dinner Party on Saturday September 26 at Marrickville Town Hall, for those who prefer some peace and quiet.

The full program for Sydney Fringe Festival will be unveiled in August.

Sydney Fringe Festival 2015 will run from Tuesday September 1 – Wednesday September 30.
