Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival Review

This is my second year attending Fringe and I love it! It s now something I will look forward to each year. There is a wide variety of shows to choose from so you are sure to find something you will enjoy. I am amazed by the number of talented performers that bring these shows to life.

On top of the good shows, you will find many friendly volunteers and there s a great area that has food trucks, beer, outdoor performances, and more. The overall vibe is just fantastic and it is one of those instances of Orlando at its best. If you have never attended, you should check it out!

I look 5forward to Fringe every year. I have seen some amazing theater.

I have volunteered at Edmonton and Winnipeg Fringe. From the moment I got on site and then met the staff and vols of this Festival I could feel this was a much more inclusive festival. Thank you Amber, Alex and the incredible patrons for making me feel so welcome. And the shows were great too.

A theater festival like no other! Original works, dance, comedy, drama, experimental and the unimaginable! Take time to see Fringe.

Fringe festival is my favorite time of year in Orlando!

It's one of my Favorite Festivals. I've been going 20+ years! If you are open minded to a variety of artistic talents, this event is for you

Good entertainment, good food, good people. Spent 2 afrenoons there. Parking was awful - took the bus.

I could not have been more excited to find this festival! Can't wait till the next one. So much talent!

The Orlando Fringe Festival is one of the greatest things about Orlando! Over 140 shows over two weeks with ticket prices around $12?! I've seen some of the best shows I've ever seen at Fringe, and a few train wrecks (but that is part of the fun!).

Where can you see a synchronized swimming show in someone's backyard pool? Orlando Fringe! Where can you see an amazing guitarist morph seemlessly into six different characters? Fringe! Where can you see the Disney princesses tell their version of the story in song? Fringe!

If you have never been, do yourself a favor and put it on your calendar now. When you get there ask someone to show you the ropes and suggest a couple shows. Then you can start Fringing!

Fringe Fests are amazing opportunities to show new talent. Orlando fest shows hundreds of refreshingly funny, intimate, crazy, and creative shows. It's well organized & safe.
It's a must in Orlando to balance all that Disney fun. It is on our calendar every May!!

The Fringe Festival has something for everyone. I saw shows featuring incredible musicians, comedians, puppeteers, dancers, story tellers and so much more. Not to mention the outdoor stage featured the best bands around town, and the food (and beer!) was delicious. GO TO FRINGE!

We go to Orlando Fringe every year for the past 7 or 8 years. Saw about 7 shows and would have seen more but our work schedules didn't give us much time to attend all we wanted. Always a great time with interesting shows both one man/women up to a mini stage production with music, lights and many costume changes and large cast. If you have the chance and haven't experienced the Orlando Fringe, you should give it a try and you'll be hooked like me.

Amazing! Always love going to the shows. The only bad thing is the parking.

Fantastic venues, shows, performers, patrons. Sufficient beer selection. Nice cocktails. Food trucks & tents have good variety. Everyone is super friendly. Come early for shows so you can really enjoy the experience. Come earlier than that if you're driving- you'll need to find parking.

The most fun you can have with your clothes on. Tons of amazing shows, great food and beer.

You laugh , cry, and react to the wonderful performances. Love this time of year.

Mini Fringe has shows for everyone from intense dramas to light comedy and most of them are only 60 min!

Outdoor activities were short performance with nothing in between.

Lots of diversity. Some kid friendly some very not kid friendly. Great way to encourage the arts and broaden yourself. Food trucks and open stage for between shows.

Lots of fun! I highly recommend seeing as many shows as you can!

This festival is amazing! You have constant shows to watch of all varieties, lots of music at the outdoor theater, great people and -of course - cheese curds! You'll be hard pressed to find such awesome and unique theater for such a low price.

Best festival ever in Orlando. Yearly, largest Fringe in US. Best live, free outdoor stage. Great food trucks. Always a fun time.

Awesome shows. Nice experience. Beer tent. Can't wait for next year

One of my favorite things to do every year. The people you meet at fringe are never strangers, just friends you haven t met yet. This year they stepped it up with actual credit card transactions at the beer/wine/cocktail tent. It was great to not have to look for your tickets...lol. I m sure a lot of people can relate.

The shows I saw this year were phenomenal! I am glad I was able to catch Wanzie s show as I look forward to that every year. This year the sequel to Animitronicans was even better than the first!

One of my all time favorite things is the cheese curds, and now they have these huge shrimp that taste like lobster, couldn t be happier with my fringing this year!

I will always attend!!

My first time at the Fringe, but it was a lot of fun with so many talented and friendly people!! Highly recommend!!

The shows weren't as good as the last 3 year's and the tickets are more expensive this year too. Had a better time my years prior than the 2019 fringe

What a great time. I only have positive things to say about the Fringe. It can be a little intimidating getting around, but there are tons of volunteers to help out.

Great, unique shows! just try a few shows. You will end up going every year. Im Sure that you will love it.

Great, unique shows! Don't assume anything about this festival, just try a few shows. You will end up going every year

Fun and casual. All type of shows and people. Great festival every year

We've lived here nearly 20 years and this is our first trip to fringe. Loved the food selections for the food trucks (varied and with healthy options too) and the show we saw was beautiful: Hombre. It's an interpretive dance show about how technology is playing a part in our disconnect as a society. Looking forward to seeing more shows

A yearly adventure. You'll see some great shows and you'll see some not so great shows. Don't forget to hang out on the lawn

just a frustrating experience when I tried to buy a ticket for a 11:45 show at 11:43 they would not sell me the ticket. I drove all the way there only to not see a show I had been looking forward to seeing. The shows are great and I really enjoy seeing them, but definitely arrive way early and plan to have packed parking! Also I had no idea that you couldn t buy a ticket 2 mins before a show, I just knew it started at 11:45. Now I know they are very strict about entry and start times of the shows!

Wonderful experience for performing arts lovers!

Wonderful experience for lovers of theater and other performing arts!

Orlando Fringe is not only a festival, it is not only art, it is community. Beautiful community with space to try new things! Artists and audiences alike can try and experience new and different theater, music and visual arts in a safe supportive space! Yay for Orlando Fringe Festival- the oldest and largest Fringe Festival in the United States!!

It's a great Festival. ..
CK FOR DATES OF FESTIVAL

As always the Orlando Fringe Festival is a blast of fun for the year. From the outside food and drink areas and free music tents to the original art for sale through the venue and finally on to the great artistic shows. Such an assortment for young, teen and adult shows. From one man shows that explore life to full on musical parody shows, amazing things. The volunteers at the ticket booths and rhe Fringe Pin tables are so incredibly friendly. Such a fun event to spend time at and no matter what shows are selected, it's a great experience!
