Announcing the 5th Annual San Diego International Fringe Festival Eleven Days of Bold, Beautiful, and Bizarre Shows
June 22 – July 2, 2017

For the 5th year in a row, the San Diego International Fringe Festival (SDIFF) is thrilled to announce our festival dates for 2017: June 22-July 2, 2017.

“We’re excited to be show casing international, national, and local uncensored and innovative live performing artists in San Diego for the 5th year in a row”, said Kevin Patterson, Executive Producer. “This year we are expanding our festival to include over 90 shows, and adding venues in beautiful Balboa Park, which is well known for its artistic atmosphere”.

The 2017 San Diego International Fringe Festival will present over 500 performances from over 90 different local, national, and international artists. The Festival aims to fully support artists by giving 100% of ticket proceeds to the performing artists. Because 100% of ticket sales go back to the artists, attendees must buy a $5 Fringe Tag, good for all 11 days, as general festival admission. This helps SD Fringe raise funds to continue to provide an affordable platform for artists and audiences to engage in Fringe shows, and gives attendees a little Fringe of their own to remind them of the festival, long after it is over.

SDIFF is one of over 200 unique Fringe Festivals produced worldwide. Stay tuned for more exciting news from SDIFF and make sure you mark your calendars for SD Fringe dates: June 22- July 2, 2017.
