The heart of the festival is the Fringe Club at Honest Ed’s (581 Bloor St. West) which includes the Visual Fringe’s eight living gallery spaces and all kinds of free forums, discussions and late night cabaret performances.

Since 1989, the Fringe has showcased over 2300 independent theatre productions, returned nearly $5,000,000 back to participating artists, and provided thousands of artists with a launch pad for their careers.

Like all Fringes in Canada, The Toronto Fringe abides by four rules, as dictated by the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF):
· Participants are selected through an equal opportunity application process such as lottery or first-come, first-served.
· All box office revenue is returned to our artists.
· The Fringe will not interfere with the artistic content of any show.
· The Fringe must provide an easily accessible opportunity for audiences and artists to participate in a festival.

First organized by the Northside Sportfishing Club in 1987, the tournament last year attracted 213 anglers, including 34 junior anglers, aboard 62 boats.

Ernest Quetel, Sr., of St. Thomas, reeled in the Largest Kingfish, a 27.38-pounder aboard the Rambo 27, Alpha-Q. Quetel took home many prizes which included $2,000 in cash. In addition, there are a dozen more prize categories that include Best Boat, Best Captain, Best Male, Best Female, Best Junior Male, Best Junior Female and other fish species such as Largest Jack, Barracuda, Bonito and Mackerel.

The fishing starts at 5:30 a.m. and ends at 12 Noon, sharp, when the beachside party begins at Hull Bay, with food, music and fun lasting right up until the time of the Awards Ceremony.

The Annual Bastille Day Kingfish Tournament is one of many activities that celebrate French Heritage Week in July.

As well as being a day of fishing and fun for the whole family, the Annual Bastille Day Kingfish Tournament benefits a variety of local organizations.

All Provincetown bars and clubs are 21+ (strictly enforced), including the two hotel pools used for Bear Week. Public meeting places such as the active street scene, Town Hall benches, Spiritus Pizza and beaches are available for younger cubs to enjoy. Bars, clubs and restaurants are all smoke-free areas in Massachusetts; provisions are often available for smoking outdoors.

Traditional highlights of Provincetown in summer include the daily T-Dance and nightly 1am pizza and cruising at Spiritus. The hotels, pools and clubs are mostly within a short walk, and Commercial Street becomes one of our primary venues as a place to see and meet friends.

More than 60,000 people attended the Sitges Pride in 2011...and we expect many more in 2011, especially when people experienced the amazing atmosphere during the Saturday evening parade! It was magical... no where else in Europe can you find such an intimate parade where you are part of the celebration...not just a spectator!

This year the parade takes place one hour later at 7pm, so it should be a little cooler than last year.. but not that much!
