Rochester Fringe Festival
Join us for the 2026 Rochester Fringe Festival — from September 15 to 26 — for twelve days of inspiration, discovery, and the entire city as your stage.
Come experience one of New York State’s most dynamic cultural celebrations! Now in its 14th year, the KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival continues to enchant audiences as the largest multidisciplinary performing arts festival in the state and one of the top-attended fringe festivals in the U.S.
Marvel at over 600 performances spread across 30+ venues, ranging from grand theaters to intimate galleries, pop-up stages, and outdoor plazas.
Enjoy comedy, theatre, dance, music, spoken word, visual arts, film screenings, kids’ performances, and multidisciplinary spectacles—many of which are either free or affordably priced, making the Fringe an accessible celebration for all audiences.
