  • May 12–24, 2026 View the schedule of events Subscribe to Fringe News Download our App The San Diego International Fringe Festival returns for its 14th groundbreaking year—launching May 12 with Fringe Previews and continuing through May 24, 2026. This year marks an extraordinary moment for our region as we continue expanding our binational artistic footprint and prepare to welcome global leaders for the World Fringe Congress 2026. For 2026, we introduce the Baja California Pilot Program—not our first activity in Baja, but an intentional, modest first-phase return designed to grow sustainably in the years ahead. This long-term vision includes thoughtful expansion south toward Ensenada and east toward Mexicali, strengthening a vibrant cross-border creative corridor. As always, San Diego International Fringe Festival remains committed to open access: unjuried, uncensored, and artist-driven. This year, artist applications were launched quietly and without advance notifications to ensure new artists, emerging voices, and first-time applicants have an equal opportunity to participate alongside returning companies. Whether you’re a longtime Fringer or discovering us for the first time, we invite you to join us in 2026 as artists from around the world come together to create, experiment, challenge expectations, and celebrate the power of performance without limits.

  • Artist Panel and Reception: Saturday, February 28, 4 - 7 p.m. Panel starts at 4:30 p.m. Art Gallery - FA 103 Free Parking Lot 1 Staff Spots On view Feb. 9 - March 5. This powerful intergenerational exhibition of Chicana portraiture brings together artists from Los Angeles and San Diego to explore identity, memory, activism, and healing through the human figure. Blending contemporary realities with ancestral memory, these figurative works honor matriarchal lineages, personal narratives, and an enduring commitment to social justice. Originally curated Sybil Venegas for Avenue 50 Studio in Los Angeles, this exhibition includes artists from different generations—Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millennials. The expanded presentation in San Diego includes local artists Marianela de la Hoz, Katie Ruiz, and Ale Ruiz Tostado, presenting their work alongside their Angeleno counterparts. Intrinsically connected to Mexico and the border, cultural influences are evident in these artists’ paintings, which align with the legacy of Chicano art while also paying tribute to long-standing Latin American traditions of magical realism and folk art.

  • This early triumph by Lars von Trier, which won no less than three prizes at Cannes, is one of his most bizarre yet accessible works: a feverish retooling of film noir, an unhinged thriller, and a visually mind-blowing odyssey into a nightmare of our past.

Co-presented by the American Cinematheque, Bleak Week spotlights a diverse lineup of films that venture into the darkest sides of humanity and the bleakest points in human history. What began as a Los Angeles-based festival expands this year to 73 cities around the world, including San Diego's Digital Gym Cinema! Founded in 2022, Bleak Week is an annual weeklong festival where audiences can celebrate and experience some of the most challenging works of arthouse cinema.

What begins as a sisters’ annual rafting adventure through the Grand Canyon quickly turns into a deadly journey when murder strikes deep within one of the world’s most breathtaking and unforgiving landscapes. Trapped on the river with a group of strangers, surrounded by towering canyon walls and nowhere to escape, Liv and Mandy Chisholm must navigate secrets, suspicion, and sibling tensions before the killer strikes again. In celebration of the novel’s launch, Nina will be joined by special guest Bridget Crocker, acclaimed author of "The River’s Daughter" and an internationally renowned whitewater rafting guide whose real-life experiences on some of the world’s most legendary rivers offer a fascinating glimpse into the adventure, unpredictability, and human dynamics that make the setting of Nina’s novel so compelling. Together, they’ll explore the inspiration behind the story, the unique challenges of crafting suspense in an isolated wilderness setting, the relationships that lie at the heart of the novel, and the real-world experiences that bring the river vividly to life. Part book launch, part literary conversation, and part armchair expedition, this special evening invites readers to journey into a world where every rapid hides danger, every traveler harbors secrets, and survival depends on knowing whom to trust.
