Support Our Mission

KC Fringe Festival champions creative expression by
empowering artists to produce bold and innovative work
through an annual visual and performing arts festival
that is accessible and affordable for all.

Support

Volunteer

KC Fringe Festival wouldn’t run without
the help from our amazing volunteers.
With 16 full days of amazing shows and
several additional special events,
it takes multiple teams to help organize,
set up, break down and run the show
for our festival here in Kansas City.
