Outside of the theatre shows, there are workshops, carnival games, crafters selling their wares and a ton of fun in store. Make sure you stop by the Augmented Reality Maramé Leaf Project to add your own leaf to the trees that will decorate the site. If you’re looking for an after-show bevvie, head to the Winery by the Refinery or Street Beach. Families, don’t miss the Kinsmen Fringe Family Fun Zone where the kiddos can make their own puppet and then march along in the nightly puppet parade. You won’t want to miss the Fringe Kids Got Talent open mic night happening each Saturday during the festival. It’s a chance to get out and have a little fun together. Tickets for all shows are $16.
