The big Fringe Festival 2016 party guide
There are plenty of exciting left-of-center shows going down. But there’s lots of parties too.
Fringe 2016 is here. The mega-festival began yesterday. This two-week stretch brims with lots of concept-driven and contemporary art, all worth seeing if you can squeeze it into your calendar. But this isn’t just a time for spectating. Fringe is a cool time to shake your ass, too.
We’re not limiting this list to events that are officially Fringe-affiliated, and we’ll also be continuously updating it, so if you have any tips, send an email.
