Scranton Fringe Festival

to Scranton Fringe Festival 2025! 🎭 Looking back at these moments, the energy, the risk-taking, and the incredible diversity of performances were absolutely electric. Right now we're busy building the 2026 edition, aiming to make it even wilder, bolder and entertaining. Get ready for some huge announcements soon! 🚀

In the meantime, what’s your favorite memory from last year's festival? Share it below!

Holiday weekend, NEPA — and Scranton is delivering. 🖤

Whether you're picnicking, catching fireworks, heading to the FIFA Fan Zone, or joining the Philharmonic at the Scrantastic Spectacular — this city knows how to do a big weekend right.

Soak up every bit of it (but stay hydrated) And when you're back — Ulysses of Scranton hits The Sanctuary Theatre on July 24 and 25. Tickets available now. 🔗 scrantonfringe.org/events/ulysses-of-scranton

Go enjoy your weekend, NEPA. 🖤

One of our favorite things about The Sanctuary Theatre? Watching it fill up. 🖤

From The Glass Menagerie to The Outsiders to Scranton Girls Rock — this space has seen some incredible moments this year already. Ulysses of Scranton returns July 24 and 25, and then the 2026 Fringe Festival takes over in October.

This is only the beginning for this space. 🖤
