In 1947, the Fringe Festival began as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival. The Edinburgh International Festival had a more elite audience. A group of performers who were not officially invited to the International Festival decided to perform on the &#8220;fringes&#8221; of the event &#8211; which led to the name &#8220;Fringe.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Performances at the Fringe range from theater, comedy, dance, music, spoken word, and even circus acts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! You never know what you\u2019re going to see next!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Part of the unique beauty of the Fringe is its open-access policy, which means that any artist can participate as long as they pay a fee and find a venue to host their performance. As a result, this inclusive approach has led to a larger diversity of shows,\u00a0 from small and experimental performances to larger, more professional productions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">In 2023, the Fringe Festival took place from August 4th &#8211; August 28th.
