One of the most celebrated annual events in Vancouver’s local arts community turns 40 this year, and tickets are officially on sale! Yes, we’re talking about this year’s Fringe Festival, which brings together local visual and performing artists for 12 days of unforgettable shows—from big venues to tiny book shops, parking lots and even a show on a boat!
Made possible through the support of the artist community, volunteers, and donors, this year’s Fringe Festival promises to be ‘bigger’ and better than ever, with more performances than ever offered across the festival’s Granville Island venues.
In addition to over 70 ticketed events, there will be plenty of free shows to catch, from ’70s-influenced funk pop to live karaoke and cabaret performances.
