2022 Elgin Fringe Festival

The 9th annual Elgin Fringe Festival is a visual and performing arts festival, featuring magic, dance, comedy, drama, music, and the undefined all in downtown Elgin!


The Elgin Fringe Festival is a proud member of the United States Association of Fringe Festivals, the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals, and World Fringe. We are lottery-based; uncurated; uncensored; 100% back to the artists!


2022 buttons, posters, and merch, designed by Artist Andrew Vo are available online and at MADE at Side Street Studio Arts.


The 2022 Elgin Fringe Festival is produced by Side Street Studio Arts and brought to you by Blue Box Cafe, Elgin Art Showcase, Elgin Cultural Arts Commission, Elgin History Museum, Elgin Public House, Grand Victoria Foundation, Illinois Arts Council, Logan Foundation, Martini Room, Palmer Foundation, and Seigle Foundation.


The mission of the Elgin Fringe Festival is to encourage bold artistic experimentation and innovation by providing an accessible, affordable experience for both artists and audiences alike.
