Dublin Fringe Festival

Dublin Fringe Festival is a curated, multi-disciplinary festival and year-round artist support organisation focusing on fresh and innovative approaches to the arts from Irish and international makers.

The festival next takes place 07-22 September, 2024.

Established in 1995, Dublin Fringe Festival is the agenda-setting festival for new work in Ireland, devoted to talent development and artform development. It is a platform for new and emerging artists in Ireland to showcase their work and offers artists at every stage of their career an opportunity to challenge, subvert and invigorate their disciplines and practice.

For artists, Dublin Fringe Festival facilitates opportunities to innovate, to push boundaries and strengthen the conditions in which they work. We champion artistic risk, ambition and excellence across art forms. We offer support, resources and professional development to the vibrant community of Irish independent artists. Our year-round FRINGE LAB resource hub provides thousands of artists with a space to experiment and hone their skills.

For audiences, Dublin Fringe Festival is about discovery. The festival programme stimulates curiosity and creates memorable encounters that enthral and embolden audiences. We make space for artists to use the city as a canvas and create performances in conversation with the times we live in. The festival plays a vital role in Dublin’s cultural life, extending the possibilities of what art can be and where it happens. The scale and environment of the festival welcomes new audiences, attracting loyal aficionados and newcomers every September.
