Ottawa Fringe Festival - June 18 - 28, 2026
Ottawa Fringe is a theatre festival; unjuried, uncurated, and unlike anything else. Every show is chosen by lottery, giving artists from all backgrounds a chance to take bold, creative risks. From theatre to comedy, dance to the unexpected, anything can happen, and it often does. Rooted in community, Fringe celebrates honest, original performance in all its forms.
National Arts Centre
The National Arts Centre (NAC) is Canada’s bilingual, multi-disciplinary home for the performing arts. The NAC presents, creates, produces, and co-produces performing arts programming in various streams, nurturing the next generation of audiences and artists from across Canada.
