Adelaide Fringe, in collaboration with Wait Mate, a parent-led, not-for-profit movement that connects parents, have announced Scroll Less, Fringe More, a one-day initiative offering families $5 tickets to a range of shows at Fool’s Paradise.
Taking place on Saturday 21 February from 10am to 4pm at Fool’s Paradise in Victoria Square, families can score cheap tickets to popular Fringe favourites such as The Giant Balloon Show, The Flying Bubble Show, Tiny Doctors: Happy Labs, Storybook Circus and All Star Circus.
The special day of cheap tickets is aimed at families with young kids, hoping to get them off their smartphones and engaged in family-friendly shows, along with free activities including roving performers, face painting, games and immersive entertainment.
Adelaide Fringe Acting CEO Tara MacLeod said, “Adelaide Fringe is about shared experiences, curiosity and connection. Scroll Less, Fringe More invites people to Fringe at a low-cost entry point and creates a welcoming space for families to experience the joy of live performance together, while encouraging kids to step away from smartphones and into real-world play, imagination and time together.”
Wait Mate’s South Australian Lead Emily Harrison said, “This collaboration with Fringe brings a simple idea to life: phones down, families together. This is how social norms change, together. Fringe is helping us kick off this conversation in the most Adelaide way possible by getting together and doing what this city does best, festivals!” The program is supported by long-time Fringe champions Bill Manos & Theo Maras, who are widely credited as key drivers in helping Fringe thrive in the East End for the last 25 years.

As fathers and grandfathers, we know how important it is for kids to access creativity, culture and shared experiences beyond smartphones, and we’re proud to support Wait Mate and Adelaide Fringe to make this possible.”
Tickets will be capped at four per customer per show to ensure broad access.
