CRITIC’S PICK: Atlanta Fringe Festival
Recommended by Kevin C. Madigan as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks
Wed., May 27 - Sun., Jun. 7
Atlanta Fringe Festival
Various Locations
The original Fringe festival that sprang up in Edinburgh in 1947 has generated copycats around the world but one of the best has to be right here in Atlanta. The fourteenth iteration boasts the inclusion of storytellers, burlesque dancers, magicians, ventriloquists, comics, dramatic actors, improv artists, clowns and “bouncing chamber music.” There’s even a Victorian horror troupe on the list. In 2024 they added a Street Fringe with buskers busking all over the place. In total, at least 30 local Georgia artists will perform alongside 19 touring artists from 11 different states as well as one (puppeteer Rick Conte) from Scotland itself. — Kevin C. Madigan
