2026 Newburgh Fringe Festival
October 16–18
Newburgh Fringe Festival showcases thrilling and thought-provoking performing arts from Newburgh and across the Hudson Valley. The festival encompasses original theater, existing plays with a new take, plays that have never been staged, full length, short form, sketches, standup, one person, puppetry, musicians, dancers, clowns, merrymakers and anything else that falls under performing arts. Our goal is to present innovative, immersive, and experimental programming that employs creativity, diversity, and inclusivity.
The 2026 Newburgh Fringe Festival is presented and produced by Safe Harbors of the Hudson in partnership with Hit House Creative and Diamond Grade Media.
