The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals is built on four principles:
- No Artistic Direction. Artists are selected by ‘first come, first served’.
- No Censorship. Artists have complete freedom to present their work.
- Accessibility to artists. Anyone can apply to the Fringe.
- Accessibility to audience. Ticket prices are kept low and 100% of the ticket price is returned to the artists you see on stage.
