FringePVD: The Providence Fringe Festival

FringePVD brings together more than three hundred individual theatre, music, dance, multimedia and performing artists for two weeks of performances in and around WaterFire Arts Center, as well as online.

This year’s FringePVD will feature more than 30 in-person performances and 27 online performances at ten venues and a mobile flatbed stage.  Venues include multiple sites on WaterFire Art Center’s Campus, as well as performance spaces at the Steelyard, the new Farm Fresh building on Valley Street, and businesses along the Greenway.

FringePVD will continue its community focus with multiple free events including an all-day Family Fringe Day and live performances of Capture the Block, a community-centered storytelling piece developed by journalist Ana Gonzalez with support from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities’ Culture is Key initiative.  Capture the Block showcases stories from Providence locals about the ways COVID has impacted their lives.
