About Edmonton Fringe
The Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is the largest, longest running Fringe Theatre Festival in North America and one of the top five worldwide.
We exist because theatre exists and what exists here doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. We are Edmonton-grown and Edmonton’s own. Fringe is a grassroots movement that cultivates creative collisions between community and art. We make space for out-of-the-ordinary, unconventional, and boundary-pushing art.
Fringe Artists receive 100% of the profit from the ticket sales. Since 1982, we have created exceptional artistic experiences, supported 43,000 Artists, and kept Edmonton on the map as a destination and creative engine.
Every August, we welcome more than 550,000 site visits to the heart of Old Strathcona and ignite more than $16Million in local economic impact. From our free outdoor Music Series, to our more than 200 ticketed theatre performances, to our free KidsFringe festival within a festival for children ages 12 and under, there’s something for everyone.
Sustain Fringe
We believe in the transformative power of the arts and are committed to maintaining our impact. To achieve that, we need your help. As a charitable organization, we depend on the generous support of fringers like YOU to ensure we’re here for generations to come. When you buy a ticket to a Fringe show, you are supporting the Artists on the stage. When you donate to Fringe Theatre, you ensure Artists have access to all the essentials they need – the stage, the lights, the sound, the technicians, the audience – to tell their stories and propel their careers.
