Kirkcudbright Fringe

The Kirkcudbright Fringe Festival is a vibrant celebration of creativity, community and culture, bringing together performers and audiences from across Scotland and beyond for one unforgettable weekend each September. Now entering its fourth year, the Festival has quickly become a highlight of the town’s cultural calendar, showcasing an exciting mix of music, comedy, theatre, spoken word, family entertainment, workshops, and late-night happenings.

Set against the backdrop of Kirkcudbright’s historic streets, lively harbour and renowned artistic heritage, our Fringe offers a welcoming platform for established performers, emerging talent and local creatives to share their work in an atmosphere that is friendly, inclusive and full of energy.
We work hand-in-hand with our venues, volunteers, sponsors and the wider community to create an accessible, high-quality programme that attracts visitors, supports local businesses and adds a fresh burst of colour to the town.

Whether you’re here to perform, discover something new, or simply soak up the buzz, the Kirkcudbright Fringe Festival invites you to dive in, get involved and experience the magic of a small town with big creative spirit.
