RADICAL ART NEEDS RADICAL SUPPORT.

Fringe doesn’t happen by magic — it happens because people like you believe in bold ideas and boundary-breaking art.

Every year, 5,000+ artists step into the spotlight with our support. With yours, they can fly further, dream bigger, go wilder.

Dublin Fringe Festival is a registered charity championing the next wave of Irish artists — not just during the festival, but all year long. For 30+ years, we’ve been the launchpad for risk-takers, vision-makers, and cultural game-changers.

We’re here to shake things up — but we can’t do it alone. From one-off donations to long-term partnerships, there are loads of ways to back the work and be part of something bigger.

Fuel the future. Fund the Fringe.
