Sydney Fringe Festival has announced details for its official closing party, The Last Supper, a multi-sensory outdoor dining experience that will transform Kensington Street, for one night only, into a feast for the senses. Held on Sunday 30 September from 5pm, the event will fill Chippendale’s Kensington Street precinct with live music, artworks, fire performances, snake charmers, rain dancers and tango whilst guests sample food from Kensington Street’s twelve restaurants or partake in an immersive three course multi-sensory dining experience.

At the centre of The Last Supper is an exclusive dining experience with restaurants Olio, Eastside, Mekong, Bistro Gavroche and Koi Dessert Bar presenting an intimate three course dinner package paired with wild entertainment. Featuring only two sittings per restaurant, these exclusive tickets will provide guests with an unrivalled view of the night’s festivities including roaming performers and participation.
