Hey, fringers! In early June 2021, we decided that it would be best and safest for us to present a digital festival again. We had really hoped to do things in person, but with the uncertainty of how the summer was going to roll out it just made sense to keep the festival online.
But don’t worry! Just because things were online again, didn’t mean they were any less awesome!
We’ve had an amazing line-up of Fringe and Duality artists that knocked your socks off with their digital offerings and a brand new artist interview series! We also brought back the Fringe-tini Patio Sessions to kick off each night with bang, and hosted a Facebook BINGO contest that involved several local businesses and a very nice gift basket.
We posted information about our fringe shows and schedule below, but don’t forget to check out Facebook or Instagram for more details and fun fringe activities!
All festival events were free of charge, and the organization is accepting donations to help offset expenses. We also had exclusive 2021 t-shirts which were available for purchase.

All performances were posted for a limited time on our YouTube channel.
