What is the Fringe?

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.

Whilst primarily a Theatre Festival, the Saskatoon Fringe also joyously features an outdoor portion. This street Festival is located in W.E. Graham Park and on 11th Street East and stars an array of carnival games, artisan vendors, outdoor performers, arts workshops, and food and beverage options.

Street Performers

You haven’t fringed until you’ve taken in a free show at one of our busking pitches. Featuring everything from acrobats to musicians. The only cost is what you choose to throw in the performer’s hat, so don’t forget to bring cash!

Performers on the international busking circuit rely on your support as income, so give well and give often to make sure the best acts choose Saskatoon!

Please note: Whilst we would LOVE to share the outdoor busking schedule with you, it is subject to frequent last-minute changes. Please follow @saskatoonfringe on social media to get the latest updates on who’s performing each day, and follow the performers you love to get the scoop on their individual schedules!
