The Fringe Fest is an underground alternative to the more mainstream Sydney Festival. It is a bit like the tattooed and mohawk wearing wild younger sibling of the more sophisticated tux-clad older festival. But it is pure fun and filled with such oddities as drag racing, sand castle competitions and the now defunct, but popular in memory, nude surfing challenge. It also features more familiar and inexpensive features like comedy and dance performances and film screenings at venues across the inner city. Free street theatre shows and concerts take place every day during the festival.
