ABOUT

Win big and Sustain Fringe! 

Over the past 43 years, Fringe Theatre has created exceptional artistic experiences, built community, propelled artistic careers, and put Edmonton on the map as a destination and creative engine.

The Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is the largest, longest-running Fringe Theatre Festival in North America and one of the top five worldwide. Each year, we welcome more than 500,000 site visits and ignite more than $16 Million in local economic impact over the 11 days of our Festival.

Fringing is for everyone and everyone is fringing. Our Festival boasts an exciting, eclectic mix of ticketed and free programming. We welcome Artists from across the street and around the globe to share their stories with engaged Edmonton audiences. 100% of ticket sales from the Festival go back to Artists. In 2023, $1.2 million in ticket sales went directly to Artists through the sale of 114,632 tickets. Last year, we celebrated 1,409 performances of 184 indoor theatre, including 383 sold-out performances.

The Festival is made possible thanks to the dedication and skill of 1,000 Volunteers; 1,600+ local, national, and international Artists; 200+ skilled arts workers; a community of corporate sponsors; monthly donors; funders at all orders of government; and YOU!

As a charitable organization, we believe in the transformative power of the arts and are committed to maintaining our impact. To achieve that, we need your help.

Fundraising activities like the Fringe 50/50 Raffle are essential for Fringe Theatre to ensure we continue doing what we do best: uplift Artists’ stories and create transformative experiences for our Audiences.
