Toronto Fringe

The starting place of stories, creativity, risks, and dreams.

The Toronto Fringe is a grassroots, charitable organization that runs Ontario's largest performance festival, the Toronto Fringe Festival, the curated Next Stage Theatre Festival, and various year-round programs that benefit youth, emerging artists, BIPOC artists, artists with disabilities, and the performing arts community at large.

Embedded in the Fringe's operations are the values of Access, Accountability, Creativity, Exploration, and Support. Learn more here.
