Get ready for 11 days of unscripted, unfiltered, and completely uncensored theatre! As one of the city’s most celebrated alternative performing arts traditions, the Vancouver International Fringe Festival returns to take over Granville Island and independent stages across the city.

Celebrating independent theatre culture, this massive festival features over 80 diverse shows from local and international artists. Because the lineup is chosen entirely by lottery and is completely unjuried, artists have total creative freedom. Come expect the unexpected—with a packed schedule spanning hilarious stand-up comedy, raw indie drama, experimental dance, spoken word, and boundary-pushing performance art. It’s the ultimate way to discover emerging talent, and 100% of the regular base ticket price goes directly back to support the artists themselves.
