Old Greeny Fringe Fest is a week-long, fringe festival in celebration of the weird, wacky, and whimsical, rooted in the legend of Old Greeny—the cryptid of Cayuga Lake. The festival activates traditional and non-traditional venues through performances, installations, community activities, and storytelling, with a strong commitment to sustainability, accessibility, and local culture.
The festival runs from April 27th to May 3rd at venues near the Waterfront Trail and on State Street in Ithaca NY. There will be more than 60 events and shows at 15 different venues in Ithaca NY. Events include music, dance, theatre, drag, burlesque, circus, clowning, as well as crafting and skill-building workshops for all ages!
