One of the highlights on Wellington’s events calendar returns this week. 

NZ Fringe is the largest arts festival in the country, encompassing more than 170 events with artists from across New Zealand and the globe.

The festival has called Wellington home since it began in 1990 - and this year marks the 35th annual event. 

To talk about what audiences can expect, festival director Vanessa Stacey joined Nick Mills.
