This theatre festival runs for ten days every September. Experts have determined that the primary ingredients of comedy, drama, dance and music found in the average serving of Fringe may contain habit-forming substances. There are usually over 500 performances by 101 troupes in 21 different venues; you will never be bored by the selection. Much of the dramatically fun theatre festival is centred on and around Granville Island. Ticket prices vary by performance.
