Hartford Fringe Festival at the Carriage House Theater

October 17, 2019 - November 1, 2019

Hartford Fringe Festival

The Hartford Fringe Festival will be held from October 17th through November 1st at the Carriage House Theater in Hartford.

Hartfords First Annual Celebration of Fringe Theatre, Dance, Music & Comedy. 19 Different Acts. 40 Performances. 10 Days. 1 Amazing Festival.

The first Fringe was in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947. Theater groups not invited to the famed Edinburgh Arts Festival organized their own happening along outskirts of town – or the ‘fringe’.

This edgier work soon surpassed the original festival’s popularity as audiences championed bold, daring work from across the spectrum. The United States is home to more fringe festivals than any other country.

Hartford has a long and distinguished history of theatre dating back to its heyday in the late 19th/early 20th century. Today, Hartford is the home to several amazing professional theatres, but those spaces are oftentimes unavailable or too expensive for smaller companies or individual artists.

The Hartford Fringe Festival seeks to make a stage and resources available to performers from throughout the region. In addition, HFF will present dozens of performances that show audiences the wealth of talent that can be drawn to Hartford.
