For The Uninitiated.
The Rochester Fringe Festival is a 12-day, all-out, no-holds-barred, multi-arts festival. The Fringe features international, national and local artists. It showcases theatre, comedy, dance, music, visual arts, children’s entertainment, physical theatre, musical theatre, opera, poetry, literature and experiences that have yet to even be imagined.

Fringe debuted in 2012 with over 30,000 attendees. Fringe celebrated its 10th year anniversary in 2021 and has grown to become one of the most attended fringe festivals in the United States. *blush*
