Our Mission: To provide a platform for innovative live arts in the City of York.

WHAT IS A FRINGE FESTIVAL?

In short: take the Wikipedia entry on theatre, a music festival, and an art gallery, throw them in a blender with some craft beer and frappe until smooth. Drink to experience artistic endeavors like never before!

WHAT IS THE LIVE ARTS?

Burlesque / Cabaret / Circus arts / Comedy / Dance / Drama / Improvisational / Interdisciplinary / Magic / Multimedia / Musical Theater / Poetry / Puppetry / Storytelling / Sideshow / Spoken Word / Variety

WHO’S MAKING THIS HAPPEN?

The York Fringe is a 501c3 registered non-profit in the state of Pennsylvania. The non-profit organizes the festival each year with the support of artists, donors, and volunteers.

Our Impact

Arts strengthen the economy. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that the arts and culture sector represents 3.25 percent of the nation’s GDP—a larger share of the economy than tourism and agriculture. The nonprofit arts industry alone generates $135 billion in economic activity annually (spending by organizations and their audiences) that supports 4.1 million jobs and generates $22.3 billion in government revenue.
