SDFringe '26 ran from May 12–24
The San Diego International Fringe Festival returned for its 14th groundbreaking year—launching May 12 with Fringe Previews and continuing through May 24, 2026. This year marked an extraordinary moment for our region as we continued expanding our binational artistic footprint and welcomed global leaders for the World Fringe Congress 2026.
For 2026, we introduced the Baja California Pilot Program—not our first activity in Baja, but an intentional, modest first-phase return designed to grow sustainably in the years ahead. This long-term vision included thoughtful expansion south toward Ensenada and east toward Mexicali, strengthening a vibrant cross-border creative corridor.
As always, San Diego International Fringe Festival remains committed to open access: unjuried, uncensored, and artist-driven. This year, artist applications were launched quietly and without advance notifications to ensure new artists, emerging voices, and first-time applicants have an equal opportunity to participate alongside returning companies.
Whether you’re a longtime Fringer or discovering us for the first time, we invite you to join us as artists from around the world come together to create, experiment, challenge expectations, and celebrate the power of performance without limits.
