The 43rd Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival

Find Your Fringe

The 43rd annual Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is set to spotlight 216 theatre productions across 38 venues, with performances by more than 1,600 Artists from right here at home, across Canada, and more than 11 countries!

As North America’s largest, longest-running Fringe Theatre Festival, we invite you to enjoy live theatre, outdoor performances, ice-cold beer, green onion cakes, our ATB Golden Ticket contest, unpredictable Albertan summer weather, and so much more!

Edmonton Fringe is possible thanks to the generous support of our Funders, Donors, Sponsors, and Volunteers. Special thanks to Lead Festival Partner, ATB Financial!

Join us August 15 – 25 in the heart of Old Strathcona.

Fringe with us 365 days a year

From our curated Fringe Season to the more than 500 events we host in the Arts Barns year-round, to North America’s largest, longest running Fringe Theatre Festival, there’s always something happening here. If you like fringing with us in August, you’ll love what we do the rest of the year.

Six Fringers in the rain; they are wearing plastic ponchos, carrying umbrellas. One is front-and-centre in a wheelchair; they are on a brick road in Old Strathcona.
