The New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC) is the largest multi-arts festival in North America, with more than 200 companies from all over the world performing for 16 days in more than 20 venues - that's a total of more than 1300 performances! FringeNYC generates an atmosphere of extreme excitement, and our energy is contagious!
Each year 200 companies from around the world present more than 1000 performances in 20 theatres on New York's Lower East Side and East Village.
The multilingual theatre extravaganza includes only stuff you would see below 14th Street - in other words, off-off-Broadway. This is theatre for those who are tired of glossy, corporate musicals and prefer the alternative. Performances include dance, puppetry, spoken word, multimedia and just about anything else you would care to name.
All 20 venues are within 15 blocks of each other. All are easily accessible and surrounded by the streets and parks, in turn filled with free street entertainment, from fire-eaters to buskers, as well as a life-size chess game.
Hours
Performances will be from 2pm to Midnight on weekdays, and Noon to Midnight on weekends.
The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency.
The New Yankee Stadium
New Yankee Stadium is the working title for a new stadium for the New York Yankees, currently under construction. It will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues.
The Bronx
In popular culture 'The Bronx' has often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. In fact, there are guidebooks that say you must never go to the Bronx! Sheer ignorance, that is all we have to say! Interactive Bronx map
