RADICAL ART NEEDS RADICAL SUPPORT.

Fringe doesn’t happen by magic — it happens because people like you believe in bold ideas and boundary-breaking art.

Every year, 5,000+ artists step into the spotlight with our support. With yours, they can fly further, dream bigger, go wilder.

Dublin Fringe Festival is a registered charity championing the next wave of Irish artists — not just during the festival, but all year long. For 30+ years, we’ve been the launchpad for risk-takers, vision-makers, and cultural game-changers.

We’re here to shake things up — but we can’t do it alone. From one-off donations to long-term partnerships, there are loads of ways to back the work and be part of something bigger.

Fuel the future. Fund the Fringe.

Volunteer Applications 2025

Applications are OPEN – come play.

Ready to dive into the chaos, the colour, the magic of Fringe? We’re on the hunt for sound heads, big hearts and buzzing energy to help us pull off two weeks of pure live art madness — and we want you on the squad.

Think wild shows, secret venues, street takeovers and after-dark antics. As a Fringe volunteer, you’re not just helping behind the scenes — you’re in the heart of it. Making it happen. Meeting the artists. Feeling the buzz. Soaking it up.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned Fringeling, this is your invite to join the crew, make mates, and see the city in a whole new light.

Jump in. Let’s make some magic.
