FUSE Festival For two weeks this spring, Darebin blooms into an open-air gallery. FUSE spills art, music, film, and ritual into its streets and gardens — from smoking ceremonies and soulful live sets to midnight projections that dance on walls. A festival that feels like the city exhaling in colour. 31st August to 14th September. Darebin City, Melbourne @fusedarebin FUSE Festival SITCHU MAGAZINE NSW ACT Want to know What’s On?

From bold premieres to hidden gems in unexpected spaces, Sydney Fringe Festival champions creativity in all its glorious, genre-bending forms. There’ll be laneway takeovers, immersive pop-ups, and late-night energy across the city. With a jam-packed program across the whole month of September, now’s the time to clear your calendar and lean into the weird, the wonderful, and the wildly original. Various locations across Sydney @sydneyfringe Destination NSW Tintino Equal parts bottle shop, neighbourhood wine bar, and local hangout, this warm and wood-accented space blends old-school hospitality with a fresh, unfussy approach to wine. With the mantra “Take a seat, or take it home”, Tintino invites you to perch at the chef’s counter or linger over a glass — or three. Food-wise, it’s all about big flavour, minimal waste, and plenty of flair. Expect bites built for pairing — from hibachi-grilled lamb belly skewers to truffle toasties and a nostalgic-yet-nuanced twist on potato gems.
