A campaign launched by the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is showing some success at a time when organizers say the event is struggling financially.
WATCH: It's one the city's top festivals but there are some serious concerns about the future of the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival. The 11-day event has run into some financial difficulties and as Jaclyn Kucey reports, if they don't get support, expect some major changes – Mar 18, 2024
The organization launched the campaign in March, asking the community to donate, sponsor the festival or volunteer their time to help the popular summer festival stay afloat. “This rapidly evolving challenge is threatening the very fabric of our festival and others like it. Without immediate support, our festival will be very different.”More than 290 people have become monthly donors, raising $100,000 since the campaign launched.Edmonton Fringe, the largest and longest-running festival of its kind in North America, is still recovering from the $3-million loss in revenue it experienced after cancelling its 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
