The 2025 Tampa International Fringe Festival will take place June 11-22, 2025! This year’s festival will take place at the Kress Contemporary & The Commodore on 7th Avenue in Ybor City.
This year features 32 shows, ranging from theatre to dance, sideshow to kids shows! Speaking of kids shows, for 2025 Kids Fringe is now FREE!
Given our beachy theme, we have themed the venues!
- Fringe Central (in Kress 2nd fl) = The Beach
- Fringe Theatre (in Kress 2nd fl) = The Surf Shack
- Tempus (in Kress 2nd fl) = The Cabana
- Tampa Rep (in Kress 3rd fl) = The Lighthouse
- The Commodore (The Commodore) = West Quay
Ride in Style!
There will be a shuttle going between the Kress and the Commodore: Shuttles will start after the first show of the day. Due to limited shuttle space, we will require proof that you were seeing a show at Commodore either before or after the shuttle ride. Check out the SHOWS

Updated Late Seating Policy:
Every year, we make it the artist’s choice to allow late entry.
Last year we had some very popular shows and it got messy, so here are the policies!
This year some shows:
- allow late entry at any point
- allow late entry up to 10 minutes
- do NOT allow late entry
You can see these policies on each show listing.
Please note that if you are more than 10 minutes late, your seat may be taken by someone on standby if the show sells out. You may still be able to stand in some cases. If you have any questions or special requests for accomodations, please reach out to boxoffice@tampafringe.org.
