About the Fringe

The Fringe is a rollicking, white-knuckled, breath-taking event that brings exhilarating and inspiring performances to the city of Boulder and the Front Range arts community. In 2007 we generated approximately $750,000 in revenue for Boulder and the state of Colorado and the regional business community felt the benefit. We envision cultural enhancement as a base of economic development in the region. Our cultural initiatives aim to revitalize the community as well as support area businesses through the yearly employment of administrators, technical crews, and over 300 artists.
