Though the Fringe was
introduced very early in the
history of the festival, it was
organised in a limited way. Today,
however, the Fringe includes
lunchtime concerts – primarily
featuring the talent of local
musicians and other cultural
performers – as well as beach
parties, scenic railway tours, boat
rides, musical workshops and
offi cial after-parties.
Perhaps our greatest success
story is the enthusiasm of our
volunteers. The festival energises
our people to support a project
that has evolved into something
worthwhile and positive, and
one that favourably impacts
all sectors of the economy.
The invaluable contribution of
ourvolunteersovertheyears
hashelpedtremendouslyto

areprofoundlyappreciative.
