Gluttony is back for the 2026 Adelaide Fringe!
Gluttony is back in Murlawirrapurka / Rymill Park from Friday 20 February to Sunday 22 March 2026, celebrating its 16th year at Adelaide Fringe and set to be the biggest season yet.
One of the most loved Fringe hubs in Adelaide, Gluttony sits right in the heart of the city’s eastern Park Lands. It’s lively, colourful and full of atmosphere, but still easy to wander with kids, prams and snack stops along the way.
In 2026, Gluttony will host over 200 shows across 18 performance spaces, including two new venues, making it the largest Fringe venue in the park. The program covers comedy, circus, cabaret, theatre, magic, music, dance, spoken word and children’s entertainment, with shows running from daytime family-friendly performances through to late-night events.
Food and Drinks
You definitely won’t go hungry at Gluttony. Food vendors from around the world serve everything from festival favourites like fairy floss, popcorn and gelato to more substantial meals and healthier options. Vegan and gluten-free choices are easy to find and food is spread across several areas of the park, including a lakeside dining precinct.
There are 19 bars across the site, along with coffee, smoothies, bubble tea, juices and free water refill stations. Gluttony is cashless, so all food and drinks need to be purchased by card.
Things for Kids
Gluttony has a relaxed, family-friendly feel during the day, making it a great Fringe stop with kids. Families can check out the Dart Blaster Arena or pop over to the nearby Quentin Kenihan Inclusive Playspace to burn off some energy. There are also plenty of open spaces around the park and lake to sit, snack and enjoy the Fringe atmosphere without feeling rushed or crowded.
What’s New in 2026
Two new venues join Gluttony this year. The Gosling is a smaller, quieter lakeside tent designed for stand-up comedy and intimate performances. Tandanya Theatre, just across East Terrace, will host a curated program of First Nations works, created in partnership with Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute.
Also new in 2026, Gluttony is launching the Gluttony Sculpture Walk. For the first time, the park will host an outdoor exhibition and sculpture competition with large-scale visual art installations across the grounds. This free, open-air, self-guided experience celebrates visual arts and expands the artistic offerings at Gluttony.

Kids are unpredictable. So are Fringe shows. That’s why planning is your new best friend. Here’s how to tackle a day at Adelaide Fringe with kids like a pro. 🚗 Sort Your Transport or ParkingWeekends get hectic, and opening night? Even wilder. Pre-book a car park (seriously, best invention since sliced bread), or take public transport, an Uber, or even a bike - bonus points if it’s a hipster one (because Fringe). Book East end parking here: https://bookabay.wilsonparking.com.au/ 🎭 Know Where Your Show IsRookie mistake: assuming everything happens in The Garden of Unearthly Delights. Fringe is everywhere - from the city to the suburbs and hills. Double-check your venue or risk a last-minute sprint. Grab the Venue Map Here: https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/venues-map ⏳ Leave Wiggle Room Between ShowsKids hate being rushed almost as much as your partner hates Married at First Sight. Give yourself at least 30 minutes between shows for toilet breaks, snack stops, and getting distracted by street performers. Plus, seating is usually first in, best dressed - so aim to arrive 10 minutes early. 🎭 Bonus Tip: Many performers stick around for photos after the show. Don’t be that parent who drags their kid away before they can meet…
