Kirkcudbright Fringe is a new arts and culture festival taking place on 3-6 September 2026 now in it’s fourth year – bringing together live music, film, comedy, visual arts, performance, and talks and discussion across the town. It aims to showcase a range of voices and talents – emerging, new and established – adding to the reputation and feel of Kirkcudbright, its public spaces and places.

As Kirkcudbright Fringe we work in partnership with a host of people and bodies to make our programme, and the experience that people will have, varied and enjoyable – for new and returning visitors, and local residents – further enhancing the reputation of our town and the Dumfries and Galloway region. We hope you like it, and welcome suggestions and input for future years.
