The Nanaimo Fringe Festival – produced and managed by Pacific Coast Stage Company (PCSC) – has been reinstated as a member of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF). In order to remain as a member in good standing with CAFF, Nanaimo Fringe is working together in restorative collaboration with CAFF and the performing arts community in Nanaimo, particularly the trans and 2SLGBTQ+ community. Positive steps have been taken by Nanaimo Fringe with continued mentorship, guidance, and support from CAFF.
Nanaimo Fringe and CAFF are actively working towards creating and maintaining a safer, more inclusive, and respectful environment for trans and 2SLGBTQ+ Fringe Festival participants. As a member driven arts services organization, CAFF is committed to supporting Nanaimo Fringe in this restorative process to ensure Nanaimo Fringe is operating in alignment with CAFF’s Guiding Principles. The 14th annual Nanaimo Fringe Festival will proceed from August 8-18, 2024.
Any questions should be emailed to CAFF at president@fringefestivals.com and Tamara McCarthy, Artistic Producer of Nanaimo Fringe, at artists@pacificcoaststage.org.
