As the name of a set of events at a festival
Deriving from the concept of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which has in some ways assumed the status of a venue or independent festival over the years, there have been a number of "fringe" events at South African festivals, starting with the Grahamstown Festival and later the Cape Town Fringe.
As a theatrical venue
The term has also been used for specific theatre venues, such as The Fringe at the Joburg Theatre Complex
