Join over 65,000 festival-goers celebrating 36 years of the Montreal Fringe Festival from June 1 to 21. Fresh off the heels of our record-breaking festival in 2025, which returned over $170,000 in box office revenues to artists, we have an incredible lineup planned.
As you may have heard, we will be closing the MainLine Theatre space, which has been the hub for our community for the past 20 years, at the end of June. The good news is, this won't impact the Fringe Festival. Instead, this means that we're embarking on a transitional period while we search for a new place to call home.
This is why it's more important than ever to come and enjoy the Fringe! Explore our programme featuring 105 shows with 800+ performances by 500+ artists from across the globe. We're taking over 25+ venues in the heart of the Plateau-Mont- Royal and beyond.
Fringing for the first time? I recommend you purchase a 3-show pass. Pick a sure bet, a recommended performance and a show at random! Don't forget to stop by the park, say hi to a volunteer and Tip the Fringe! Tickets are $19 or less and artists keep their box office revenue.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Fringe and MainLine, offered words of encouragement and offered to help us while we search for our new home. It's not too late for you to get involved. More info at mainlinetheatre.ca.
Let's make this a festival to remember. Fringe on!
FRINGE on!
