Our Story |
Fringe North is a vibrant arts and cultural community in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, celebrating creativity, community, and artistic expression. Bringing together local, national, and international talent, we offer a platform for theatre, music, dance, visual arts, comedy, and more. As part of the global Fringe movement, we are committed to providing accessible and affordable opportunities for artists to share their work, while giving audiences the chance to experience innovative and boundary-pushing performances.
Our festival runs every August, expanding over the years to include theatre, music, visual arts, and more. Each year, we help emerging artists through our Artists in Residency Program and proudly support Indigenous and equity-seeking artists through initiatives like Project Nishin. We also host a year-round podcast series and other events that build community connections and engage in meaningful dialogue through art. |
Fringe North is more than just a 5-day festival; it’s growing into, year-round community that welcomes collaboration and creative risk. We embrace the evolving concept of community and strive to foster meaningful relationships with those eager to connect and grow artistically. Beyond August, Fringe North is creates a space for bold conversations and artistic exploration, where chance encounters spark lasting partnerships, and early ideas blossom into incredible creations.
