World Fringe

300 Festivals. One Global Movement. 🌎✨ This May 19–23, San Diego serves as the global capital of independent arts. The World Fringe Congress 2026 is the bi-annual gathering of Fringe festival leaders from across six continents, representing a unified network of cultural innovators. Led by @worldfringe in partnership with @sdfringe , this summit is a critical forum for cultural diplomacy, designed to fuel local economies and launch new creative voices. By connecting delegates across borders to exchange ideas and spark collaboration, the Congress shapes the future of independent arts worldwide. At a time of global division, this gathering stands as a powerful act of connection, affirming the cultural and economic impact of the Fringe movement on the world stage and our transborder region. 🗓️ May 19–23 during SD Fringe Festival 2026 🔗 Learn more:

Fallout Fringe Co-production Spotlight on: Dentata 6/7 @ 6:30, 6/8 @ 9 PM, 6/12 @ 6 PM, 6/13 @ 8:30 PM At Vegas Theatre Company DENTATA is a joyful, riotous, feral exploration of feminine ferocity, told through the poetry of witches, a misunderstood Medusa, games with the audience, and of course, a giant operatic vagina puppet. All conjured by a clown with a bouffon’s bite. Directed by Jess Lazar (Funny or Die, Hulu, Thrillist,) and co-birthed by SITI Company's Lucy Smith. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 DaveandtheTrashBand 6/8 @ 8PM 6/12 @ 8PM 6/15 @ 8PM 6/17 @ 8PM at Cornish Pasty Co. Vaudeville with a southwestern flair! The audience (the "trashband") creates a theatrical, musical country extravaganza as Dave conducts the band along. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Heavy Petting Zoo 6/8 @ 9PM, 6/12 @ 10PM, 6/13 @ 5:30PM, 6/15 @ 5:30PM, 6/16 @ 9PM at Third Street The Heavy Petting Zoo is a duet of one-act plays for the true animal lovers out there (just don’t tell PETA). From a tale of self-discovery via your neighbor’s yapping mutt (and some drugs) to a feather-ruffling love story of reconnection, this zoo will make you wanna reach out and touch it. Just wash your hands after. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Discounted Early Bird Tickets on sale NOW for a limited time only. Falloutfringe.org/tickets for more info. (Link in bio)
