A fringe festival is a gathering of independent, randomly selected performers and artists that host many short performances over a few days. Patrons can see many productions in a short time at a low cost and any profits go straight back to the artists.

鈥淵our support is integral to these artists,鈥� said Lucy Eveligh the president of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals. 鈥淚n these ever-changing times of a global pandemic, precarious funding, expensive living costs, and the day-to-day struggles many artists face, having people see their work is more crucial than ever.鈥�

Performances occur over four days at the Rotary Centre for the Arts (91大黄鸭), the Blackbox Theatre (91大黄鸭), the Creekside Theatre (Lake Country) and the Grizzli Winery (West 91大黄鸭).
