Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to shower support on the causes we love most. If you've been positively impacted by local artists and performers in the greater Marquette community, consider donating to Marquette Fringe, a rapidly growing organization that is dedicated to bringing live performances and non-traditional art forms to the public through low-barrier, low-cost events.

In 2024, Marquette Fringe brought the community a unique Mid-Winter Ball, Drag Show Performances with Queen City Drag and Superior Expressions and live fire dancing shows with the Lucid Fyrë Bellators. In October of this year, our flagship event, the Fall Phantasm, was larger and more successful than ever before! We collaborated with local performance troops, actors, musicians, installation artists, and vendors to create an immersive event that was entirely FREE to the public.

Marquette Fringe continues to grow as a non-profit, and as our ideas expand, so does our budget. We rely on sponsorships and donations of all sizes from supporters like you to make our dreams come true. In the coming year, we not only want to expand our events, but also our artist community and resources for community members to connect and create.

The best part of this year's Giving Tuesday Campaign is that GiveButter is offering a generous $5000 match to 5 organizations that raise over $500 dollars! Help us meet this goal and take your dollars even further.
