Minnesota Fringe

Thank you for participating in Give to the Max Day, 2022!

Since 1993, Minnesota Fringe has connected adventurous artists with adventurous audiences. For 30 years, Fringe has served as a vital space for artists from a wide variety of backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels to explore new ideas, make new work, and generate a livelihood. For 3 decades, dedicated audiences have been considered an essential part of the Fringe community. 

As we look towards the future, we're excited to present the 30th annual Minnesota Fringe Festival - August 3-13, 2023, where both new and familiar friends will gather to feel the vibrant pulse of life that is live theater.  We're also inspired to revive the year-round programs that champion artists in the cultivation of their craft. And we're eager to share with audiences who co-create our adventures. 

For Give to the Max Day 2022, Fringe is focusing on our future while celebrating our past. 

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to revitalize year-round producing and performing opportunities that expand notions of - and provide novel ways to engage with - the performing arts.

Thank you to the Lebowski Urban Achiever Fund for matching $1000 in donations!

Thank you to an anonymous donor who had added $500 in matching donations!

Through our summer festival and dynamic year-round programming, Minnesota Fringe is an artist-centric disruptor for local and national artists — to take bold risks, develop new ideas, and hoist themselves to the next rung of their artistic ladder.  With your help, we can continue to throw the theater doors wide open for performers and patrons alike, cultivating a rich performing arts community in the process.
