To kick off a weekend of family fun downtown Biddeford, Engine in partnership with Heart of Biddeford is pleased to host Fringe Fest 2023! This arts festival featuring unfettered expression is free and open to the public from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. Friday, August 18.

Fringe Fest is moving indoors tonight, Friday, Aug. 18!! 

The weather conditions are too unpredictable to set up an outdoor festival this afternoon/evening (hello lightning). But fortunately the Pepperell Mill Campus is generously providing an amazing indoor space at 32 Main Street (above Portland Pie).

We’ll still have tons of artists and Gem City performances, along with the annual Pie Luck (yes! A potluck of pies!).

As of Friday morning, subcircle is still sticking with their original schedule for BANDALOOP performances at The Levee. However, they will watch conditions and announce if performance times are adjusting for the weather. As the day goes on, we’ll post more updates on all of the social media accounts.
