In 1947, a group of artists, called themselves Fringe, broke a new path in Edinburgh. They bravely competed with the official art festival committee and shared their own stories with the audiences. Since then the public’s enthusiasm and awareness of art has spread to more than 200 cities in 70 countries. Edinburgh Festival Fringe has become one of the largest art festivals in the world.

Since Shenzhen Fringe Festival has been set up in 2010, "Art Everyone, Stage Everywhere" has always been our pursuit and faith. During this decade, Shenzhen Fringe Festival is rather endeavor to culture rebuilding than researching the urban culture. Shenzhen Fringe try to arise citizen’s public awareness of the society via art and try to make a difference in reforming their behavior and value orientation.

The initiation of Shenzhen Fringe Festival is to explore the emerging artists and diverse art forms. Fringe is not a traditional festival that will follow the curatorial concept. It is a platform that more people could join in and express their artistic ideas and share their performance with the public. A group of people together could always create more value than we work alone. In Fringe, artists, creative communities, social groups, etc. could all join together to find out more possibilities of art. Shenzhen Fringe keeps the spirit of adventure and keeps trying those things the other festival may ignore.

2019 is the 10th year of Shenzhen Fringe Festival. Passion is always the most fascinating and appealing character of Fringe, which continuously attracts people to become part of it. This year, Fringe still keep this kind of strong emotion.

Glowing Fringe, Glowing for Ten Years!

Each Fringer is a fire with dazzling light. Hope this powerful light can shine and inspire us for moving forward and keep fringing!
