Calgary Fringe Starts TODAY!

Calgary Fringe 2010 Starts today! Love live, interesting, fun and enthralling theatre?! This is the time to get out to shows... The Fringe runs July 30th -August 7th 2010.





What is a Fringe?
Fringes are uncensored, non-juried theatre festivals. The first Fringe started in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947, and has grown into one of the biggest arts festivals in the world. The second-largest Fringe Festival is in Edmonton, Alberta , and draws nearly 800,000 attendees a year!






The Fringe Festival summer event in 2009 saw a banner year for the Calgary Fringe. Tickets sales were up 40% from last year and artist payouts 65%. And we're not stopping there! We are looking forward to another fun-filled 9 days in 2010 ... here's to breaking more records!
