Whispers say there's a place – hidden from prying eyes – where the unexpected reigns, the bubbly flows, the stage is yours to play on, and all those on the fringes of community, art, and culture can speak easy.

You're invited to an underground gathering of rule-breakers, theatre lovers, and patrons of the arts. We're cranking up the chaos, dialing in the daring, and giving you a Fringe experience so electrifying, so wildly unhinged, you'll be talking about it long after the curtain falls.

A Fringe Benefit
Friday, May 23, 2025
7PM – LATE at the Fringe Theatre Arts Barns (10330 84 Avenue)
Dress to impress (this ain't no black-tie affair – show us your showstopping, creative best)

What's in store?

This is a fundraising event, Fringe-style – radical, rebellious, and ridiculously fun. Every dollar raised fuels the magic of the Fringe Festival, keeping Artists on stage and audiences on the edge of their seats.

✨ Live performances from Festival faves, plus a few acts you won't believe.
✨ Complimentary bubbly courtesy of Empson Wines (because you deserve to toast in style).
✨ Be the first to witness the official 2025 Fringe Festival theme reveal.
✨ A special announcement from our friends at Sea Change Brewing Co. about an exciting Festival collab that will have you raising a glass all summer long.
✨ A live auction stacked with out-of-this-world VIP Fringe experiences you can't get anywhere else.
