The Free-For-All Tent is our crazy circus-like tent at the heart of the festival, located next to the Central Box Office at the corner of Press and Dauphine in the Marigny (Plessy Park, next to the railroad tracks). Come relax on our sofas, rest your feet, grab a beer and a bite to eat, take in a free show, browse the Fringe Market and learn more about the shows and activities happening throughout the Fringe. All shows at the Free-For-All tent are....free!
We've got a ton of cool stuff planned at this year's tent, and we're hoping that you'll be at there watching, sipping, performing or volunteering. This year an entire range of activities for kids will be hosted at the tent from 11 am-4 pm on November 20 and 21.
