From August 1 – 9, 2025, the Fringe Festival is coming to Calgary! Fringes are “anything goes” theatre festivals, and there is usually some kid-friendly stuff. The first Fringe started in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947, and has grown into one of the biggest arts festivals in the world. Anything goes in this theatre venue, so come prepared for the quirky, the wacky, or the simply unconventional. Tickets and show schedules are available online.
Islands Disappear
Looking for something specifically for children? Get tickets for Islands Disappear and join three pirate friends for a day of music, sword fights, and self-discovery! As kids, Cam, Holly, and Saren made a pact to become pirates and sail away from their little island. When the friends reconnect, they decide to try one last time to build the perfect boat. Will they make it off together, or will the waves pull them apart again? Get your tickets here.
