The 30th Annual 2026 Philadelphia Fringe Festival includes more than 300 artistic experiences on tap for the month-long celebration happening all over Philadelphia this September 8 through September 27. Everything from Broadway actors around town to people making shows for the very first time from scratch.
“This year our goal was really to be out in the city and all around,” she says. “We actually have developed some amazing partnerships at Philly institutions. We’re staging a piece of theater in the Planetarium at The Franklin Institute, which I’m very excited about. We will be at the Athenaeum, the historical library.” Nell Bang-Jensen, FringeArts CEO and Producing Director.
