Head to the heart of the festival in Old Market Square and enjoy free and "pass the hat" entertainment from noon to midnight daily. The historic cultural hub located in the city's Exchange District is where locals and visitors gather to enjoy incredible music, talented street performers, tasty food options, beverage pavilions and merchant vendors.
Our two licensed patios are open from noon to midnight and Fringers can drop by and relax in between shows or after a long day of Fringing with a cold beer, cooler or glass of wine. While you're recharging in the shade, you can also enjoy some of the entertainers and musicians on the Outdoor Stage, and satistfy your appetite with some tasty items from our diverse group of food vendors.
