Orlando Fringe Venue Locations

Orlando Fringe Venue Locations
Most of the Orlando Fringe’s venues are located in (or very near) the City of Orlando’s Loch Haven Park, a city
cultural campus that is home to The Lowndes Shakespeare Center and The Orlando Repertory Theatre. The
park is located just north of the downtown area and also hosts The Orlando Museum of Art, the Orlando
Science Center, and The Mennello Museum. One venue is located a short distance from the park.
