The Vancouver Fringe Festival, produced annually by the First Vancouver Theatrespace Society, is BC's largest theatre festival and North America's most international Fringe Fest. With over 750 performances by aprox 90 groups, the Fringe Festival attracts over 30,000 attendees!
The Vancouver Fringe Festival is a non-juried "theatre buffet" that, for 11 days in September, brings together a community seeking innovative, unusual, affordable, and exciting experiences, all in pursuit of the vision of Theatre for Everyone! Every year, a small number of dedicated staff and over 600 enthusiastic volunteers work hard towards our mission to celebrate theatre, foster community, and create opportunities for performing artists and audiences.
