More info on Freak Passes

Fringe Freak Pass is like an all-access pass to the 2025 festival. Freak Pass holders get early access to ticketing, and can reserve up to 8 shows in advance of the festival. Ticketed performances take place between Thursday, March 20th and Sunday, March 23rd. This pass also allows you access to our Closing Party at The Crow and Quill, where you’ll get to vote in our Fringe Awards, and participate in our fun and fringey awards ceremony.
Freak passes cost $75 now, but increase to $100 once we announce the schedule on March 1.

Please note that not all of our venues are fully accessible. See ticketing notes when purchasing for more info.

2024 was the 22nd year of the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival.

Asheville Fringe Society

OUR MISSION

 

The Asheville Fringe Society is dedicated to cultivating strange and wonderful work that lies outside the mainstream. The Asheville Fringe Arts Festival provides artists with opportunities to explore the edges of their work, to collaborate across genres and to bring new and innovative performances to culturally adventurous audiences. Our continual goal is to curate experiences that expand the minds and hearts of our audiences and to be inclusive of artists who work within a myriad of genres, styles, and forms to create truly unique and original pieces in our community.
