Fringe of the Woods Festival has unveiled its 2026 lineup, bringing together an eclectic mix of award-winning performers, acclaimed writers, musicians, storytellers, and theatrical innovators for another unforgettable weekend in the mountains of Southern California. Performances will run Friday, August 14-Monday, August 17.
Returning for its sixth season, Fringe of the Woods continues its mission of presenting intimate, artist-driven performances that blur the lines between theater, music, literature, comedy, and live storytelling. Set against the natural beauty of Frazier Park, the festival has become a destination for audiences seeking original works and one-of-a-kind performances outside the traditional theater experience.
Each evening offers audiences a carefully curated series of performances ranging from solo theater and spoken word to live music, comedy, and experimental works. The festival's intimate setting allows audiences to experience artists up close while enjoying one of Southern California's most unique cultural events.

Musician J. Raoul Brody
'Road Plays' by Lesser Mortals
'Five Doors' by Erin-Kate Whitcomb
'Model Home' by Todd Alcott, with Lynn Odell
