Big ideas. Brave art. Questionable flight paths.

Welcome to the Island Fringe Festival — PEI’s home for daring, joyful live performance.
Every show is chosen by lottery. Every ticket supports the artists. Every moment is a leap of faith.

Presiding over it all is Peep the Unpredictable Pigeon, our unofficial mascot and embodiment of the Fringe spirit: follow your instincts, embrace the unexpected, and don’t worry too much about where you land.

Follow Peep. See what happens.
