RECORD BREAKING FRINGE
The 2018 Ottawa Fringe Festival was an incredible success! We’d like to thank everyone who came out and supported the festival and its artists. This year we hit a record high attendance and we couldn’t have done it without you. So thank you to all our patrons, our sponsors, and the artists themselves.
We hope every show you watched managed to make you laugh or cry or something in between. With 56 shows in the festival this year, there was definitely something for everyone. And thank you for grabbing a beer with us at the Sky Lounge – not Sk’Lounge – while Lauren and Amanda from Toasted Theatre hosted a hilarious talk show late into the night.
On our closing night, June 24th, we handed out a selection of juried awards. Congrats to all our award winners this year! Keep up the amazing work.
