Kids Fringe
The Vancouver Fringe Festival is an annual non-curated performing arts festival where artists are selected by lottery, helping reduce barriers for independent performers. This year’s festival returns to Granville Island and beyond for 11 days, from September 10 to 20, 2026.
The theme, Every Kind of Everything, reflects a season of over 80 shows by artists from around the world, two days of Kids Fringe free programming and activities for children and families from Sep 12-13th, and the return of the all-ages Fringe Patio with free nightly music and entertainment beginning Labour Day weekend from September 5-7.
There is so much fun in store this year! For more information visit our website or follow us on socials @vancouverfringe. Tickets for all shows are now available for purchase at www.vancouverfringe.com.
