Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe

Held in the early fall, the Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe is one of the region's most well-attended – and most unique – events of its kind. From live dance and late night cabaret productions (some which border on the avant-garde) to poetry readings, tricycle races and shows by the Spiral Q Puppet Theatre, you can bet there's something that'll appeal to everyone during this two-week celebration of the arts. Performances are held in venues all over the city, with many of the Live Arts shows taking place in the streets of Old City.
