Kansas City Fringe Festival
July 19-26
Various venues around the metro

The Fringe Festival began years ago in Edinburgh, Scotland as a festival to celebrate un-censored, un-filtered, edgy art.  This festival is now in its fifth year in KC, and features all forms of entertainment highlighting local, regional, and national artists throughout the day for the entire week over 18 or more venues.  The venues are located in the mid-town area from the River Market to the Plaza, and from 18th & Vine to the River Bottoms.  Always edgy, innovative, and featuring infinite variety, the festival features something for everyone.  Entertainment includes puppetry, music, song, dance, performance, art, burlesque, theater, film, fashion, clowning, fire artists, spoken word, as well as other art forms that defy categorization.  Inexpensive and colorful, this festival is one of the best ways to catch-up on the Kansas City art scene in a short amount of time.  Entertainment is available for children, youth, and also, for adults only.  Tickets for shows range in price from $5-$10.  Discounts are available with the purchase of a Festival Button.  Proceeds from the buttons go to support the festival, and ticket sales go to support the venues, and the artists.  The entire festival serves to stimulate and support the local Kansas City arts community in general.
