Fringe Festival rolls out welcome mat for youngsters

Grey skies, wind and rain didn't stop kids from enjoying the activities offered by the Kid's Fringe on Friday. CTV News Edmonton's Nav Sangha was there. The Edmonton International Fringe Festival welcomed its youngest audience members on Friday morning and saw good numbers for its ribbon cutting despite gloomy weather. KidsFringe was created as a family-friendly co-event to the main fringe festival, which features 200 performances in a 10-day-long indoor and outdoor theatrical endeavour. Between arts and crafts, improv lessons, dance lessons, yoga, a ball pit, a circus, plate juggling and shows specifically catered for young kids, there isn't a lot of potential for boredom. 'We have things inside the stage. We have things out on the grass. Depending on what the weather's like, we'll just be flexible,' said director Alyson Dicey. Dicey noted that it's important to them that the entire KidsFringe zone is free. 'We want all families to come down from all over the city,' she said. The festivities run until Aug. 24 at Light Horse Park on 85 Avenue. More information can be found on their official website. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Nav Sangha
