The Dublin Fringe Festival is an annual curated arts festival in Dublin, Ireland focusing mainly on theatre. The festival allows artists to submit their work via an application which is subsequently reviewed by the programme manager.[citation needed] The festival is open to both Irish and international participants.

The festival started in 1980 as a small independent festival over a weekend and expanded into a sixteen-day festival, annually held in September and focuses on new and emerging artists.[1] The Dublin Fringe has live entertainment as well as performances in dance, theatre, live art, visual art, and music.[2]
