Operating for over 30 years, the Saskatoon Fringe Festival produced by 25th Street Theatre is an explosive celebration of art, community, and most importantly – THEATRE.

Now a global phenomenon, the first Fringe Festival began as an act of theatre rebellion in 1947 when a daring group of artists crashed the Edinburgh International Festival. Performing on the “fringe” of the event, they ignited a revolution of artistic exploration that lives on in every Fringer.

Today, over 250 Fringes are celebrated across the globe, pushing boundaries and toasting to the artists who colour outside of the lines.

BYOV artists rent their venues directly and take on a higher production cost to still bring their show to you! Saskatoon.
