"This year’s festival is a special one for both our organization and Philadelphia," stated Nick Stuccio, president and producing director. "For 25 years, the Philadelphia Fringe Festival has elevated our city as a primary nexus for cultural conversation, progressive ideas and innovative art-making."

There were 199 submissions, a record for the organization, for the 2021 festival. Audiences can expect live theatrical and dance performances, art installations, circus arts and "genre-bending experiences that highlight the wide variety of local and national talent that the festival attracts." 

There will be both in-person and digital works. The full lineup will be announced in August.
