Edmonton's Fringe Festival is Back!

For those of you who do not know, the Edmonton Fringe Festival is a world class arts event that involves street performers, actors, magicians, comedians and all sorts of other interesting performing arts type people. The most amazing thing though is that all of the performers who come here actually do so on their own dollar, pay the event $600 bucks for a venue to setup shop and then collect 100% of the revenue that they bring in! It seems rather wierd but it works and has worked for 25 years, making this a well known and renowned world class even that is well worth taking in.

I have no clue who is performing this year, but I fully plan on taking in a few evenings and afternoons of the Fringe as it runs for the next few weeks in Edmonton's historic Whyte Avenue district.
