As the longest-running Fringe theatre festival in the United States, Orlando Fringe is founded on being: 100% uncensored, 100% unjuried, 100% accessible, 100% inclusive and 100% of all ticket sales go directly back to the artists.
“Let Your Fringe Flag Fly!” will be the festival's 2025 theme. "In a time when artistic expression is increasingly under scrutiny, Let Your Fringe Flag Fly! is more than just a theme—it’s a declaration,” says Artistic Director Tempestt Halstead. “Orlando Fringe has always been a sanctuary for bold, unfiltered creativity, and this year, we’re embracing that spirit with open arms. Let Your Fringe Flag Fly! is an invitation to celebrate individuality, amplify diverse voices and champion the power of the arts to challenge, unite and inspire. Now, more than ever, we stand by our commitment to radical inclusion and artistic freedom.”
Centralized in Loch Haven Park, the festival features five venues and Visual Fringe HQ at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, four venues at Orlando Family Stage and Kids Fringe at the Orlando Garden Club.
BYOV’s (“Bring Your Own Venues”) this year include returning venues Renaissance Theatre Company and The Starlite Room @ Savoy and new venue Ten10 Brewing Co., along with various site-specific venues chosen by artists.
The Outdoor Stage returns to the lawn with new entertainment and new food vendors, heightened beverage offerings and the return of the Soapbox. Digital and printed programs continue from Fringe partners at Watermark Out News, as well as enhanced Box Offices located at both Lowndes Shakespeare Center and Orlando Family Stage.
All ticketed shows are free - $15, and entertainment on the Outdoor Stage, at Kids Fringe and Visual Fringe is free, allowing audiences to choose their own Fringe adventure.
“May in Orlando means FRINGE!” says Director of Experience Genevieve Bernard. “We are so fortunate to have 14 days of unique theatre, dance, music and art right here in our community. It’s a time to celebrate the creativity of thousands of local, national and international artists. Let’s come together, support these amazing talents, treat ourselves to something special and proudly let our Fringe Flag Fly!”
