It's the final days of the Edmonton International Fringe Festival and despite unfavourable weather thousands of people came to take in performances.
So far more than 100,000 tickets to theatre performances have been sold, and by the end of Sunday, it’s expected half a million people will walk through the outdoor events.Fringe holdovers give Edmontonians a second chance to take in theatre festival“We got hit with a hail storm on opening night, which did put a pause on the outdoor programming last Friday, but thankfully the sky is cleared and folks have returned and Fringers came back with a vengeance,” Dart said.
“I had no idea what Fringe was and I had no idea it existed and honestly now it’s something I look forward to every summer now,” she said. “I think it’s just how everyone is so vibrant and you’re kind of free to do whatever and everyone is allowed to express their individuality, their creativity and their art in their expressive way.”There are still tickets available to shows for Saturday and Sunday. Dart stresses that after Sunday people still have a chance to enjoy Fringe.
“We have selected four incredible shows that will continue on into early September and then Fringe Theatre is here all year,” Dart said.
