Festival Location: Orlando, FL, USA

Festival State: Florida Festivals

Festival Type(s): Fringe Festivals, Comedy Festivals, Arts Festivals

The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival is a 10-day celebration of the theatrical and performing arts. Heading into its 14th year, the Festival is the oldest, non-juried and authentic Fringe Festival in the United States.

This year six theatre venues throughout Orlando's Loch Haven Park will feature non-stop performances by dozens of new and established Fringe performers. These performances are uncensored and non-juried, staying true to the history and spirit of Fringe Festivals.

Fringe Festivals began in Scotland during the 1950s when groups not invited to perform at the Edinburgh Festival of the Arts staged their own "fringe" performances outside the festival boundaries. Fringe Festivals now occur all around the world, with true festivals continuing to be uncensored and non-juried and all performance ticket proceeds going directly to the artists.

In addition to numerous performances, the Orlando International Fringe Fetsival includes Visual Fringe featuring art pieces displayed throughout the venues, as well as Kids Fringe featuring kid-friendly performances on weekend days.
