The Atlanta Street Fringe festival will return to the Little 5 Points neighborhood for its third year, bringing two weekends of outdoor shows to the area on May 29–31 and June 5–7, 2026.

Presented in conjunction with the Atlanta Fringe Festival, Medias Res Immersive Theatre and the Little 5 Points Cultural District, the upcoming festival features free performances on the streets, plazas, and storefronts throughout the neighborhood.

This year’s lineup includes a total of 21 local and visiting performers, showcasing a variety of performers like buskers, circus artists, musicians, comedians, puppeteers, dancers, illusionists and immersive theater creators, with acts ranging from hula hoop spectacles to folk puppetry, among others.

“Atlanta Street Fringe brings unexpected art directly to the public and celebrates the creativity and eccentric spirit that make Little 5 Points such a unique cultural destination,” said Louis Kyper, Street Fringe organizer.

The festival will take place 4 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as 2 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Sundays.

While all events are free to attend, festival-goers are encouraged to donate to the performing artists. 

Additionally, attendees will get the chance to vote for their favorite busker by scanning QR codes at the event. The performer with the most votes will receive a $150 Audience Choice Award.
