The Orlando Fringe Festival unites local, national and International Artists with the Central Florida community, creating a uniquely diverse arts experience.  As the longest-running Fringe in the United States, Orlando Fringe is founded on being: 100% uncensored, 100% unjuried, 100% accessible, 100% inclusive and 100% of all tickets go directly back to the artists.  “Let Your Fringe Flag Fly” is the theme for this year.

Centralized in Loch Haven Park, the festival features five venues and Visual Fringe HQ at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, four venues at Orlando Family Stage and Kids Fringe at the Orlando Garden Club.  BYOV’s (“Bring Your Own Venues”) this year include returning venues Renaissance Theatre Company and The Starlite Room @ Savoy and new venue Ten10 Brewing Co., along with various site-specific venues chosen by artists.  The Outdoor Stage returns to the lawn with new entertainment and new food vendors, heightened beverage offerings and the return of the Soapbox.  Digital and printed programs continue from Fringe partners at Watermark Out News, as well as enhanced Box Offices located at both Lowndes Shakespeare Center and Orlando Family Stage.  All ticketed shows are free - $15, and entertainment on the Outdoor Stage, at Kids Fringe and Visual Fringe is free, allowing audiences to choose their own Fringe adventure.
