Friday & Saturday on the Fringe and Fringe Finale Weekend
FREE! Two big weekends of free, outdoor entertainment await you at this year's Fringe.
Last year's Friday & Saturday on the Fringe featured the return of 2017's Plasticiens Volants with another U.S. premiere, Pearl: Secrets of the Sea. The world-renowned French street theatre company turned downtown Rochester into a giant aquarium for thousands of delighted attendees. Our Fringe Finale Weekend saw the triumphant return of the U.K.’s global sing-along sensation, Massaoke, giving its Massaoke: Night at the Musicals show its North American premiere on the final night of Fringe.
Stay tuned for what's in store for 2020 after our BIG REVEAL announcement on July 7!
