General Festival Questions

What is Winter Mini-Fest?
Orlando Fringe’s Winter Mini-Fest is a smaller curated version of our May Festival that is celebrating its 10th anniversary. This is a multi genre festival featuring everything from Dance, to storytelling, to traditional theatre. There is a little something for everyone. The festival follows an artist-driven model, meaning we do not charge an admission fee for artist to participate and we split the tickets 50/50.

Winter Mini-Fest runs from January 7th to January 11th, at The Orlando Shakes located at 812 E. Rollins St. Orlando FL, 32803. Visit Orlandofringe.org/where-to-park parking information. Find your venue by going to Orlandofringe.org/venues-wmf
