Dublin Fringe Festival 2026

Dublin Fringe Festival is the city’s biggest multi-arts festival. For two weeks every September, venues across Dublin host hundreds of shows spanning theatre, comedy, dance, music, spoken word, circus, and everything in between.

The Fringe is where experimental and boundary-pushing work sits alongside more accessible shows. New talent emerges here, established artists take risks, and the programme is varied enough that there’s genuinely something for most tastes. Many free and low-cost events run alongside the ticketed shows.
