After a two-year hiatus due to the global pandemic, Charm City Fringe is
thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of the Charm City Fringe Festival from
September 29 to October 8, 2023. This year’s festival promises to be a reunion for the
books.
Just as reunions bring friends from the past together to relive cherished memories, the 2023 Charm City Fringe Festival aims to reunite the Baltimore theater community and recruit new faces to rekindle Baltimore’s live theater scene. Festival attendees can expect a lineup of 13 talented artists spanning various genres, and off-hours events like a Drag Brunch, and a free-to-the-public launch party. With over a week of shows at multiple venues throughout the Bromo Arts District, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Highlights of the 2023 Charm City Fringe Festival include:
- Diverse Performances: Over 10 days, audiences can immerse themselves in an array
of performances, from theater and dance to music and more. The festival lineup showcases emerging and established talent. - Free Public Event: In addition to ticketed shows, the festival will offer a free public
launch party on Thursday, September 28 at 7:30 PM at Le Mondo (406 N Howard St).
It will be a great place to preview the shows, meet the Charm City Fringe community, and soak in Baltimore’s artistic community. - Ticket Bundles: Charm City Fringe has exciting ticketing packages for attendees
looking to see multiple shows. These bundles offer extra perks and savings for those
who want to make the most of their festival experience. - Local Business Partnerships: Local businesses have partnered with the festival to
offer discounts and promotions to festival-goers, making it a city-wide celebration. - Discover Bromo: Performances will take place in various venues across the Bromo Arts
District, offering attendees the chance to explore the city and discover new spaces. - Join the Fun: We encourage all attendees to embrace the “High School Reunion” spirit
by dressing up in high school nostalgia garb. Whether it’s a varsity jacket, prom dress, or your best combat boots and black lipstick combo, add an extra layer of fun to the festival as we relive the past and celebrate the present.
