The Windsor International Fringe Festival represents a very ambitious project and we set our sights high because of the artistic and economic need in our region: this is the challenge which we have taken up for our community.

The festival is born, thanks to The Ministry of Culture of the Province of Ontario, The Ontario Trillium Foundation, The Ontario Arts Council, The City of Windsor, The Ontario Tourism Partnership Program, The Convention Visitors Bureau Event Partnership Program, our academic, corporate and not-for-profit partners, donors and silent partners who believed in this project from the start, and who have the faith to support its implementation. There are really no words which do justice to our deep gratitude for their confidence in Actors Theatre of Windsor, and in the festival in making its first steps…It takes a village...

The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals is built on four principles:

  1. No Artistic Direction. Artists are selected by ‘first come, first served’.
  2. No Censorship. Artists have complete freedom to present their work.
  3. Accessibility to artists. Anyone can apply to the Fringe.
  4. Accessibility to audience. Ticket prices are kept low and 100% of the ticket price is returned to the artists you see on stage.
