About Fringearts

FringeArts is Philadelphia’s hub for contemporary performance, housed in a renovated pumping station with an on‑site restaurant/bar complex—Fringe Bar and La Peg. Since rebranding to FringeArts in 2013 and opening the waterfront HQ, the venue has become a focal point for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival and FEASTIVAL, offering bold, accessible programming year‑round. If you’re exploring a night of cutting‑edge culture in the city, FringeArts is a reliable, no‑hassle option where you can secure the best available price seats and enjoy a meal before or after the show.

Located at 140 N. Columbus Blvd. (at Race St.) in Philadelphia’s Historic Old City, FringeArts combines intimate theater experiences with vibrant on‑site dining. Here’s what you should know to plan your visit, including seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options that we trust and often recommend to friends in the business.

Seating and venue layout: The main theater seats the best available price with movable walls and mezzanine configurations that can accommodate larger events approaching the best available price. While seating charts aren’t broadly published, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you choose the best option for your night out. For specific seating plans or accessibility needs, contact FringeArts directly and we’ll connect you with the right staff member.

Parking: There is no on‑site parking. Nearby options include Park America Old City Parkominium at 231 N 2nd St (short walk from FringeArts) with discounted rates for showgoers, and the Vine Street Lot along the Delaware River waterfront. Street parking is also available in the area. We can help you secure a convenient parking plan for your visit.

Transit and getting here: FringeArts is easily accessible via SEPTA. Use the Market‑Frankford Line to 2nd Street or the Broad Street Line to City Hall, with frequent bus connections to the area. Indego bike stations are nearby if you prefer cycling. If you’d like, we can map the best route from your starting point and share real‑time transit tips.

Nearby hotels and dining: The Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package offers convenient options for visitors, and there are multiple hotels within walking distance of FringeArts. For dining, you’ll find a range of options in Old City and along the Delaware River waterfront. We feature affiliate partner recommendations for hotels and restaurants to simplify planning your stay—just ask and we’ll tailor picks to your dates and budget.

On‑site dining and vibe: Fringe Bar and La Peg are part of the FringeArts experience, providing casual, stylish options to complement a performance. La Peg opened in 2014 and remains a popular adjacent dining choice for pre‑ or post‑show meals.

Notable events: The venue hosts the annual Philadelphia Fringe Festival (open‑access multi‑venue fringe festival) and FEASTIVAL (culinary fundraiser). These events showcase Philadelphia’s creative energy and culinary scene in a welcoming, accessible environment.
