About Us

Dublin Fringe Festival was set up in 1995 to provide a platform for the work of established and emerging artists who are committed to innovative approaches to the performing arts. Now in its ninth year the Fringe is an event of both national and international significance attracting audiences in excess of 50,000. It is the fastest growing cultural event in Ireland and one of Europe's leading independent arts festivals. It provides an incredible, indispensable and insatiable creative centre for experimentation, innovation and inspiration.
