The place to grab a drink and chill

Festival Patios

Looking for a pit stop between shows? Grab a drink, take in some sun (or some shade), and listen to some tunes. It’s patio season at the Fringe Festival.

No summer is complete without a stop at a Fringe Festival patio or tent. Every location features an incredible line-up of Sea Change Brewing Co. beer, Village Brewery cider, wine from Borsao Bodegas, and non-alcoholic drinks. Minors are welcome if accompanied by an adult. Sit and chill in summer luxury.

Three Spots to Choose From

Maclab Development Group Wine Tent

Noon or night…or noon again, the Maclab Development Group Wine Tent is the perfect perch during a hard day’s fringing. Located between 83 and 84 Avenue, just off 103 Street.
