Are you curious to see what awesome Fringe we have in store for you this year? Are you one of the serious Fringers who treasure the annual Fringe guide, carrying around a marked-up dog-eared copy for the next seven weeks? Are you wondering what the hell a Fringe Festival is anyway? Well your day has ARRIVED!!!

Festival Guides are hot off the presses and will soon be at coffee shops, book stores, and all your favorite pick up points around Philadelphia. (You can always grab one at the FringeArts headquarters at Race and Columbus). But you can get yours before anyone TONIGHT at the 2018 Fringe Festival Guide Launch Happy Hour, 5:30-7pm!

Come to the Haas Biergarten at the FringeArts headquarters (140 N. Columbus Boulevard, at Race), grab a drink (specials 5-7pm), get your Guide, and chill with music and games.

We’ll be spinning our prize wheel for free candy (and more!) 5:30-8pm in Haas Biergarten! DJs Yolo Ono and Josh BWC will be playing all the hits while you begin plotting your 2018 Fringe Festival schedule!

FringeArts Development Manager Jennifer Shorstein reads the new Festival Guide.

The First Friday event is part of the We Got the Beats DJ Series presented by Visit Philadelphia. Summer Sounds in the Historic District is a free music series delivering sweet tunes at nearly a dozen locations in Old City, Society Hill and along the Delaware River waterfront. We Got the Beats DJ Series brings out two DJs to play two different genres of tunes.

Listen to the hottest music with the coolest Festival Guide.
