Do you Fringe? The KC Fringe Festival is one of the largest celebrations of arts and culture in the Kansas City metro area.

In July, the extravaganza of performances, visual arts exhibitions, and films returns for its 21^st season across a dozen local venues. Talented artists gather at one location – the Library – for a special preview.

The 2025 KC Fringe features two weeks of sketch comedy, burlesque, musical theater, hand-crafted puppet comedy, and more. This sneak peek at the Plaza Branch offers a variety of family-friendly shows and a few fun surprises. Artwork is also on view in the lower-level lobby.

Prepare to be dazzled by the possibilities of this year’s KC Fringe.
