The Halifax Fringe Festival is in full swing with a week of amazing performances ready to be watched across the city. The Neptune theatres are closed today, but the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Bus Stop Theatre and performances with their own venues will still be ongoing.
The Fringe is a time to celebrate all that Halifax has to offer in terms of arts and culture. Theatre plays, musical performances, circus acts and comedy routines come together to show off different perspectives, cultures and experiences. Artists collect all the revenue from ticket sales, making it a great way for folks to come out and show their support.
