| Festival Description | Fringes are indeed unique theatre festivals. The variety of types of shows is wide, ranging from comedy to drama, politics to adventure, traditional theatre to performances that defy description. The Calgary Fringe Festival takes place in the heart of Calgary's cultural corridor—17th Avenue. This non-juried, uncensored artistic event features raw and innovative local, national, and international theatrical productions alongside street performers, musicians, film and outdoor stage events. As they have done for over fifty years, Fringe Festivals around the world continue to foster an atmosphere of spontaneity, collaboration, and risk-taking. |
