The Edmonton Fringe Festival is a fantastic festival. It was the first Fringe festival in North America and remains among the largest, bigger than Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal Fringe festivals. The number of venues and performers, and the support that the Fringe offers to the acts that win the lottery, is unique in Canada. Calgary has nothing even close to the Edmonton Fringe as far as arts festivals. Even the High Performance Rodeo does not come close to the number of acts or venues.
The fact that people on here haven't heard about it says more about them than it does about the festival itself. Anyone who knows anything about theatre in Canada knows about the Edmonton Fringe.
