Kansas City Fringe Festival

KC Fringe Festival:
The Kansas City Fringe Festival is one of the best ways to see some amazing performance art-- and the third annual KC Fringe Festival promises not to disappoint. The four-day event will be held at various performance venues around Kansas City on July 26th-28. The fest, which includes everything from live theatre, dance, and performance art, to visual art, puppetry, storytelling, and fashion is a great celebration of local, regional and national artists. Check their website for details on venues, performances and ticket info.

Participants:
The Fringe Festival allows one to see an amazing amount of performance art--be it dance, music, storytelling, or film. The best thing about the fest is that you can plan to see it all in one night, it just takes some preplanning. There are shows for all ages, mature audiences and everything in between.

Ticket Info:
Tickets are the most confusing part of the whole KC Fringe Festival. First, you MUST buy a $5 Fringe Fest Button to see ANYTHING.

It's a one time thing, but you must wear your button to everything. The buttons aid with Festival Expenses.

Secondly, to see any performances or shows--you must then purchase a ticket. Tickets are $5 for a single, or $20 for 5.

Buttons and tickets are available 30 minutes prior to showtime or at the Crown Center Atrium or at the Fringe River Market (500 Delaware).

FYI-all ticket proceeds go to the artists and venues! See the KC Fringe Fest official site for complete details.
