Sat Aug 9, 2025 - THE FRINGLEWOODS

Festival Hall (1215 - 10 Ave SE)

10:20 pm (shortly after APT 33)

In 2022 and totally last minute, we thought it would be fun to whip up some cheezy awards for silly things like "Best Use of Spandex Award Award", handwritten on colourful business card sized paper and given out by Michele Gallant, Executive Director and Producer and Attrina Blythe, Box Office Coordinator. Totally individualized and totally fun! Everyone that we presented an award to enjoyed it so much, we decided to make this an annual event and name it after our Calgary Fringe Jester, Fringlewood.

THE FRINGLEWOODS will be determined by an appointed group of Fringe staffers and board members, with the awards handed out by Michele (Executive Director and Producer), Attrina (Box Office Coordinator), Tamara (Artist Services Manager) with assistance from our wonderful Fringe Minion and Fringe ED Shadows. Have an idea for an award? Let us know!  Send an email to michele@calgaryfringe.ca and artistservices@calgaryfringe.ca.
