The Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is the largest, longest running Fringe Theatre Festival in North America. As an event with international presence, we rank among the top five Fringe Festivals in the world. We exist because theatre exists, and what exists here doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. The magic of Fringe lives with the people who built this Festival from the ground up, and who continue to nurture it 40+ years later. The vibrant success of the Edmonton Fringe Festival is thanks to the more than 40,000 artists who have bravely taken an artistic risk with us since we exploded onto the scene in 1982. It’s thanks to the more than 800,000 fringers who take creative risks with us every August. It’s thanks to the more than 1,600 volunteers who continue to help build one of North America’s most influential arts movements. Fringe Theatre is for you, because fringing is for everyone. We’re happy you’re here, fringer. You belong here.
