WHAT IS THE FRINGE?
Presenting live theatre in an informal, accessible and inexpensive environment, the Fringe strives to break down traditional boundaries between audience and artist.
• 100% Uncensored
• 100% Unjuried
• 100% Accessible
• 100% of ticket sales go directly to the performing artists!
Audiences are invited to experience the work of seasoned veterans alongside that of emerging artists. Local, national and international performing companies benefit from working together and learning from each other in a vibrant and exciting festival atmosphere.
In order to stimulate artistic innovation, applications for participation in the Fringe Festival are accepted on a non-juried lottery.
The Winnipeg Fringe Festival relies on over 700 volunteers to help make the festival happen. We are looking for Fringe Team Members who are able to volunteer for a minimum of four shifts (avg. 4-6 hours each) over the 12 day festival.

• Contribute to the community and help revitalize downtown
• Be in the know about the best Fringe shows

We provide you with
• A fun, relaxed, supportive environment
• A Fringe Team Member T-shirt
