- Contact those venues directly with your preferred dates, technical requirements, setup and pulldown times, and show information. You deal directly with venues for booking.
- Book your slot and confirm directly with the venue.

I've contacted a venue and they haven't replied. What should I do?#
This unfortunately can happen as venues can get overwhelmed with applications or emails can get missed. We recommend to try contacting again or also contact a different suitable venue. You can still contact the festival at info@fringe.ee for help and support.
Do I have to advertise my show?#
YES, you have to actively market and advertise your show. Fringe festivals are the place to practice and get used to the effort needed to get people into your shows. Not sure what this is all about? Contact info@fringe.ee for a session.

I see that there is a street program this year, can I participate in this?#
NO, the street program is unfortunately invite-only this year. We do want to open it up to be open-access in the future. This depends on building good relationships with the city first.
Will you print a festival program and artists booklet?#
