We’re super excited to announce this incredible list of artists selected to take to the stage in our 2025 Fringe festival, taking place this September 4–14 on Granville Island. A small group of our Fringe team members, board, and donors gathered to witness the live-streamed draw, celebrating the talent coming to this year’s festival.
This year’s Fringe Lottery had a total of 39 spots, 4 from the CAFF touring lottery and 35 drawn live.
The Vancouver Fringe team will be reaching out to the artists who have been selected to confirm their spot. If any artists who were drawn in the 1st phase who are unable to accept their spot, the spot will be offered to the first artist on the waitlist who entered the 1st-phase of the draw.
Congrats to all the artists selected, we can’t wait to Fringe with you this year!
PLEASE NOTE
The below line-up is subject to final artist confirmations. Many of these shows are works-in-progress and certain details may change as artists continue their development in the lead-up to our 2025 Festival.
