YEAR 5 IN THE BOOKS! YAAAY
Hey hey hayyyyy we did it. Year 5 in the books. Free Fringe isn't so much a festival as it is a MISSION. We are the people who want more access to more things. We are the creators who want to encourage more creators. We believe everyone should get paid. Yes, sell your tickets to your show... but also include pay what you can tickets. Yes, rent your event space, with all the bells and whistles...but also try to make space for others without the obstacles. That's what we are all about. And we THANK YOU for helping us rock this mission. Thank you for continuing this mission throughout the year. Shine some light on the Free Fringe. We count on your energy and love and spirit. Please share the Free Fringe vibes with all

Free Fringe Philly: Unleashing Artistic Rebellion in Philadelphia
[Philadelphia, 5/26/23] - Free Fringe Philly, the award winning festival inspired by the spirit of the Edinburgh Fringe, returns for its fifth year in Philadelphia. Since 2019, Free Fringe Philly has challenged the pay-to-play festival model, summoning forth the punk/DIY spirit which has always been a foundational characteristic of the arts in Philadelphia.
Art unleashed, barriers shattered. Free Fringe Philly defies the grip of capitalism, embracing boundless creativity. No more exclusivity, no more curation. We reject the confines of the privileged few and defy the elitist art world.
Join the rebellion. Contribute your art. Share your power and privilege. Together, we dismantle elitist systems, creating a space where true artistic freedom thrives.
Free Fringe Philly: a protest, a middle finger to norms. Art for all, no fees, no barriers. We are not just another festival—we are a movement. The power of the people prevails over the privileged.
