The IndyFringe Festival is back and it’s celebrating its 20th
Anniversary!
Attending for the first time can feel intimidating because
there are six venues, 69 unique shows, and almost 250 ticketed performances
from Aug. 14th to the 24th. But the team at Fringe has
made it as user-friendly as possible.
To start, there is a preview night TONIGHT! You can get a
glimpse of shows and decide which ones interest you the most. Info here:
WHAT: IndyFringe Festival Preview Night
WHEN: TONIGHT, Aug. 13,2025, Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
Show starts at 6:00 p.m.
WHERE: Then Athenaeum Basile Theatre, 401 E Michigan
St., Indianapolis
COST: Pay-what-you-can tickets can be purchased online or at the door.
For the actual festival, here are some helpful facts:
Week-night shows typically run between 6:30PM & 10:30PM
and weekend shows may run between 11:00AM – 11:00PM. Shows are all 45-60
minutes long and they all start on the same 90-minute intervals across each of
the festival venues.
Shows always take place in the same location, but they may
have different start times from day-to-day.
If you are new to Fringe, this is a fantastic place to start.
There is truly something for everyone. There’s comedy,
dance, poetry, music, and more. Because each show is shorter than a typical theater performance, I'd encourage you to take a risk and try some productions that you wouldn't normally pick. It's a wonderful chance to step outside of your comfort zone and experience something new.
If you’re ready to check out the shows and buy your tickets, start here.
