It is part of the CAFF (Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals) circuit, which allows Fringe artists to tour many different Fringe Festivals throughout North America and which requires all of its festivals to follow the original Fringe philosophy (100% unjuried, 100% uncensored, 100% accessible for artists and audiences alike, 100% of ticket sales given back to the artists). The Title Sponsor for 2009 in Cirque du Soleil La Nouba.
Orlando Fringe brings artists from diverse and disparate mediums together for twelve days for what many consider to be Central Florida’s premiere arts event. For more information, visit www.orlandofringe.org or call 407-648-007.
