Vancouver International Fringe Festival 2012 (September 6-16)

One of my favorite festivals (beyond the absolute obvious like Bard on the Beach, and of course, Vancouver Queer Film Festival or Vancouver Queer Arts Festival), is definitely the Vancouver International Fringe Festival 2012. Covering theatre in Vancouver for the past 7 years or so, I’ve grown to love The Fringe.

Every year the Vancouver Fringe Festival delivers an eclectic mix of theatrical offerings. This year’s Fringe features more than 800 performances by 98 artists over 11 days!

We are a member of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals and have been putting on the annual Festival in Vancouver since 1985. Originally, the Festival was focused in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver, but we moved to Commercial Drive in 1995, and again to our current home on Granville Island in 2000. While the majority of the Festival takes place on Granville Island, we take over the city every September thanks to the artists who produce BYOV (Bring Your Own Venue) shows at various venues.

The 2012 Vancouver Fringe Festival will be taking place September 6-16. You should TOTALLY check it out.
