The 2025 Fringe Festival Brings Theater Magic Back to Winnipeg
North America’s second-largest Fringe Festival is coming back to Winnipeg! From July 16 to 27, 2025, we can watch shows from 150 theater companies from all over the world right at the Exchange District.
Every year, we look forward to seeing the diverse performances. They always have an incredible roster, ranging from stand-up comedy and musicals to cabaret.
Just like the years before, the festivities will take place at the Old Market Square. You can expect food trucks, magic shows, jugglers, fire-throwers, and other family-friendly entertainment.

Access to the outdoor festivities at Old Market Square is free. All of the street performers and local bands rely on donations, so make sure you have something to give when they pass around the hat.
Tickets to the shows go on sale on Tuesday, June 24 at 12 PM (CDT). As of this writing, you can get the Frequent Fringer Passes: $84 for access to 8 shows and $144 for access to 14 shows.
For the first time, the festival will offer Buddy Passes for only $28. You can take a friend with you to watch two shows, or you can simply gift it to someone special.
