Our weekend-long Fringe Festival is a celebration of creative energy from around the globe. Inspired by the annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival—the world’s largest arts festival, our festival features six one-of-a-kind performances, including improv, magic, theater and comedy. Join us for one performance or delight in the entire weekend. New this year—on Saturday only—additional FREE, interactive performances and immersive experiences will fill Overture Center with awe-inspiring sights and sounds. Fill up on traditional festival fare—hot dogs, fried chicken cones, ice cream and more—from our food stands in Overture Hall and Rotunda lobbies. Stands open at 11am. Plus, enjoy local artists throughout the building, including Wild Rumpus Circus, Polka! Press, Art Mart and doodle artist Ronnie Walter along with a drag show featuring Bianca Lynn Breeze. Come early with the family, stay late with the adults. Free for all!
