About the Vancouver Fringe Festival
The Vancouver Fringe returns with its 38th season September 8-18, 2022! With over 400 performances, The Fringe is BC’s largest theatre festival – averaging over 25,000 attendees. It is a celebration of all kinds of theatre, and is consistently voted Vancouver’s Best Arts Festival by Georgia Straight readers.
