The Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival spotlights 210+ theatre productions across 35+ venues, with performances by more than 1,600 Artists from right here at home, across Canada, and more than 9 countries for 11 days in August.

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.

Save the dates: the next Festival happens August 13 – 23, 2026. We can't wait to see you there!
