The Fringe Festival gets its roots from Edinburgh, Scotland, where artists who were not included in the local arts festival decided to create a way to showcase and celebrate "fringe" art. In Cincinnati, local, regional, and national artists showcase their work downtown in both traditional and nontraditional spaces. The festival not only showcases alternative visual art, but also performance and film pieces. The goal is to have a forum and opportunity for artists who are not normally acknowledged by traditional art and to show the world how fabulous progressive art is.
I recommend checking out the website as well as the link to the official Fringe Festival blog for details about daily events. There's a lot going on so this would be the best way to pick and chose the events you want to go to. This weekend Fringe joins up with traditional Final Friday celebration.
