NEW Elgin Fringe Cabaret Night!

The fun continues at the Martini Room after the Preview Party with the Fringe Cabaret! Anyone can sign up to give a short performance of whatever tickles their fancy. You don't have to be a Fringe performer to participate!

$4 Festival Entry Button required, available for sale at the door.

The Fringe Cabaret will begin immediately after the Preview Party and will go until we run out of performers or the Martini Room closes, whichever comes first.

Performers will be called up via random draw over the course of the evening, and we ask that everyone registered comes ready to perform. There is no setup time.

Performances can be no longer than seven minutes, and can be anything the performer chooses as long as it is feasibly done within the Martini Room's performance area and with minimal tech support. Performers that are also performing in an official 2026 Elgin Fringe Festival show are welcome to join in the fun but may not perform something related to their official show.

All music and sound files must be submitted before performances begin.
