This year, Vancouver Fringe is taking over almost the entirety of Granville Island, with select activity bursting out into the nearby surrounds.
The Fringe Box Office and Fringe Bar will once again reside on Granville Island, alongside all the shops, galleries, bars and restaurants the people of Vancouver know and love. Theatre shows will play throughout the day at on-site venues Arts Umbrella (V6H 3S1), Ballet BC (V6H 3R8), Carousel Theatre (V6H 3R7), Performance Works (V6H 3R8), Revue Stage (V6H 3R9), The NEST (V6H 3R8) and Waterfront Theatre (V6H 3R7).
Site-specific work will be held at the Granville Island Picnic Pavilion (V6H 3R9) and within Ron Basford Park (V6H 4B7), with off-site venues supporting our jam-packed schedule at Studio 16 (V6J 1S1), Pacific Theatre (V6H 1M8) and at Leap Creative Studios (V6J 1H3).
