The 2025 Elgin Fringe lineup is live—and it’s packed with bold, weird, and wonderful performances! This year’s artists are bringing it all: dance, theater, comedy, music, magic, multimedia, circus, storytelling, multimedia, and more. Over 90 shows will take over downtown Elgin!

FESTIVAL ENTRY BUTTONS & TICKETS

What's the deal with the buttons? Yes, they are cool. And yes, they are REQUIRED for each person attending a performance (even free ones) and for entry to the Visual Art Exhibit. Your one-time button purchase allows you to buy performance tickets and helps this volunteer-run, small-budgeted festival keep afloat! You are also investing in the growing local arts movement in our community.  And remember, 100% of all ticket sales go directly to the artists. 

After you’ve bought a Festival Entry Button, you may purchase individual show tickets HERE or Fringe Central. All performances, even the free ones, require physical tickets (yup, paper) for entry. Sorry, no downloadable tickets–we’re old school like that! That means ALL Fringe attendees MUST VISIT FRINGE CENTRAL to pick up physical tickets and buttons for show entry! Please plan ahead! No tickets are available for sale or pick-up at Fringe Venues.  You may purchase tickets at Fringe Central as late as 15 minutes before any given show begins. ​​
