Welcome to our 7th annual performing arts festival! Tampa Fringe is an international festival of indie performance: From stand up and improv, to theatre and dance, to weird performance art — at reasonable rates, so you can watch’em all! Join us May 10 – 14 in historic Ybor City!

We are Tampa’s only open-access, uncensored, international fringe theatre festival. We adhere to the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF) model in that we:
- Are primarily based around indoor performing arts productions.
- Are completely uncensored.
- Accept companies through a lottery.
- Return 100 percent of the money generated from ticket sales to the artists themselves.
