We had some amazing shows in this year's Fringe and 100% of ALL box office revenue went back to our artists. This means we rely on donations from supportive patrons and arts enthusiasts to keep the Hamilton Fringe going! The Hamilton Fringe only has a few months until we turn 14 so this means you only have a short time to appear on our #turning13 wall of fame!
If you enjoyed this year's Fringe please consider donating $13.00 as part of our #turning13 campaign
A modest donation of $13 will go a long way to supporting our growth this year and for years to come!
