🪩 Castlemaine Fringe x The Wild Otter Club: Dance Party Fundraiser!

The Castlemaine Fringe is thrilled to announce our Dance Party Fundraiser event for 2026.

We are partnering with The Wild Otter Club - a grassroots Electronic Dance Music (EDM) initiative dedicated to fun times, regional talent, and building connections across our creative communities.

Born in Ballarat, the Wild Otter Club champions regional DJs, producers, and performers. Giving world-class talent a dedicated platform while ensuring artists are fairly and sustainably compensated for their craft.
