You heard all this before, but do you know the background? FRINGE is part of a larger historic entertainment cycle. Once upon a time, in 1947, the Edinburgh International Festival was born. It was the post-war initiative to re-unite Europe through culture. With little media blitz, the festival proved to be so successful it brought in more performers than the physical space allotted. Eight theater companies showcased the first alternative theater event to the very large and appreciative audience. The first Edinburgh Festival became the benchmark for all subsequent International Fringe Festivals. The primary key for each success story was simple. Please the house, give excellent quality and provide diversity in the creative arts. Join us today and help create the next exciting chapter.

The Long Island Fringe Festival is here now and we hope you will join us.
