‘Expect the unexpected’: Fringe North promises to captivate
A diverse lineup of artistry and musical entertainment will be on full display at the Sault Ste. Marie Museum this month as the Fringe North Festival celebrates its seventh year in town.
“We’ve grown together; the team there is so incredible,” she says. “They have lots of really unique spaces that can house our venues, and it’s just a really inviting space.” Special event coordinator Avery McMillan has been part of the show since 2021, and says the festival has expanded significantly since its inception.
Originally from North Bay himself, artist relations coordinator Garrett Ryan is excited about some of the behind-the-scenes work taking place at Fringe North, particularly with the Emerging Artists in Residency Program which helps young and aspiring artists tell their stories. Having benefitted from that program personally, McMillan says she doesn’t know where Fringe North in Sault Ste. Marie would be without their outstanding crew.
