Baltim

We envision Baltimore as a supportive and sustainable place for performing arts and artists.

Charm City Fringe (CCF) produces an annual performing arts festival in Baltimore that unites people through art, builds community, provides a place for weird, and empowers artists in producing bold, fun entertainment.

Charm City Fringe, Inc. is a nonprofit that develops, showcases, and celebrates new and innovative theatre and performing arts in Baltimore. We aim to connect and elevate the theater community, engage existing audiences, attract non-traditional theatergoers, and reach out to communities not commonly represented. The Charm City Fringe Festival, founded in 2012 in Baltimore, Maryland, provides a platform for artists to elevate their work and reach new audiences, while eliminating obstacles and allowing audiences to discover and explore new artists and works. The Festival is run by a dedicated cadre of volunteers. To learn more about becoming a volunteer, check out our volunteer opportunities.

Charm City Fringe believes in supporting our artists. All artists make a minimum of 80% and up to 100% of ticket sales. The work we do requires your support. Make a tax-deductible contribution to the arts today through our secure button, above. You can also join us and volunteer.

What is Charm City Fringe?

With Baltimore's ever-growing fringe theatre community, Charm City Fringe is bringing artists out of the woodwork to present what they do best. Each October, performing artists will be given the opportunity to shine during the Charm City Fringe Festival. Held in the Baltimore’s Bromo Arts & Entertainment District, we encourage everyone to take this opportunity to witness incredible theatre and performing arts at a great price. Featuring fresh new shows, after-parties with live music and comedy, exclusive festival collaborations, and special deals around the city, the Charm City Fringe Fest is not to be missed!

Launched in 2015 was Nights on the Fringe, a weekend-long immersive arts experience held at Baltimore Theatre Project. Think of it as a mini festival, or a farmers market for the arts. One ticket per night, dozens of artists for everyone to enjoy.
