Orlando Fringe is back with a wide variety of ticketed performances, a free outdoor stage, an eclectic visual art gallery, and kids’ activities. While there’s simply too much Fringe to cover in a single article, we are doing a series of posts about this incredible Orlando event. In this fourth installment, we’re taking an in-depth look at the younger side of the Festival: Kids Fringe!
What is Orlando Fringe?
Kids Fringe is an important part of Orlando Fringe, a two-week theater festival focused on unjuried and uncensored works of performance art. While similar festivals exist all over the world, Orlando Fringe is the longest running event of its kind within the United States. Fringe Festivals are generally known for featuring alternative or experimental pieces of art, so you really never know what you’re going to find!
What is Kids Fringe?
While most of the annual Orlando Fringe Festival is geared toward a decidedly more adult crowd – Kids Fringe is full of fun, fanciful, and FREE activities specifically designed for young children. At Kids Fringe you’ll find an assortment of live entertainment options, craft tables, and other special programming. Focused on making the arts accessible to local youth, Kids Fringe has something for everyone – even the pickiest of children!
