The Edmonton Fringe Festival is an annual event held every August in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. It was established in 1982 as the first "fringe festival" in North America, on the model of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It has since become the largest in North America. The emphasis is mostly on theater, but the atmosphere is that of "anything goes." More than 1500 performers take part in the festival each year.

Unlike the Edinburgh festival in which artists are responsible for finding their own venues, the Edmonton Fringe implements a system in which for a relatively low set fee, the Edmonton Festival provides artists with a venue, a set number of performances, two technicians, and front-of-house and ticketing services.
