The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals is an organization that helps promote different kinds of performance festivals all over Canada. A Fringe Festival is a special kind of festival where people from all different backgrounds and cultures come together to enjoy live performances, like music, theatre, dance, and comedy. These festivals give people the chance to enjoy a variety of cultural experiences and performances without spending a lot of money. The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals helps make sure all these different festivals get the support they need to be successful. They also help the festivals connect with other festivals around the world so they can learn from each other and further the art of performance.
