Victoria Fringe Festival: Aug. 20-31 2025
Welcome to the 38th annual Victoria Fringe Festival, whether this is your first time Fringe-ing or your 30th, we are glad you're joining us for 12 days of madcap fun this summer! The festival kicks off with the Fringe Eve Preview, as artists take to the stage for 2 minute teasers of their shows, complete with craft beer, non-alcoholic options and a pop-up Indigenous Artisans Market. With shows happening at traditional venues across downtown, unconventional venues around the city, and late-night fun at our Fringe Club, there is so much to see and take-in.
To find out more details on artist applications, sign-up for our artist e-news.

Physical copies of the program guide are available at the Intrepid Box Office during box office hours, at our Music Bingo fundraiser, at Fringe Preview August 21st, and are distributed at various local businesses around Victoria thanks to our wonderful volunteers!
A Vancouver Island festival tradition for more than three decades, Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival takes over downtown Victoria BC each summer for a celebration of live performance from around the world, featuring an eclectic mixture of spoken word, drama, musicals, dance, comedy, magic, theatre for young audiences and more at venues across the city.
