Winnipeg Fringe

The Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival presents 12 days of innovative, engaging and affordable theatre in Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District every July and features over 170 independent performing arts companies from Manitoba, across Canada and around the world.

Presenting live theatre in an informal, accessible and inexpensive environment, the Fringe strives to break down traditional boundaries between audiences and artists, encouraging open dialogue between theatre-goers and theatre-creators

In order to provide all artists with the ability to participate and to have total creative freedom when it comes to the type of work they wish to develop and share with Fringers, participants are selected by a non-juried lottery.
