“ON THE EDGE fringe” a Fringe Festival like no other
In 2011, a group of like-minded artists began a journey of development for the purpose of revitalizing the northern artscene especially in North Bay, Ontario. This has led to the development of several arts initiatives but most importantly it has established the need for a local fringe festival. The shared vision is to create a platform where artists and audiences can come together for an outspokenly exceptional experience. This is how ON THE EDGEfringe began and in August 2014. ON THE EDGE fringe will become a reality.
