Operating for over 30 years, the Saskatoon Fringe Festival produced by 25th Street Theatre is an explosive celebration of art, community, and most importantly – THEATRE.Now a global phenomenon, the first Fringe Festival began as an act of theatre rebellion in 1947 when a daring group of artists crashed the Edinburgh International Festival. Performing on the “fringe” of the event, they ignited a revolution of artistic exploration that lives on in every Fringer. Today, over 250 Fringes are celebrated across the globe, pushing boundaries and toasting to the artists who colour outside of the lines. Whilst primarily a Theatre Festival, the Saskatoon Fringe also joyously features an outdoor portion. This street Festival is located in W.E. Graham Park and on 11th Street East and stars an array of carnival games, artisan vendors, outdoor performers, arts workshops, and food and beverage options.What roles are there for a Fringe Volunteer?Fringe Volunteers assist in all areas of the Festival! Choose from a variety of roles to find the perfect fit for your abilities and interests: front of house, ticket selling, carnival games, green team and more! Come join our Fringe Community!
