After a successful 2025 festival, Duces Wild will present the second edition of EdFest, a festival of previews of shows heading to Edinburgh Fringe later this year. The 2026 festival will be held at Brooklyn Art Haus from 14-19 July, with two shows per weeknight, plus more on the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Fringe is magical, but it’s also expensive and can be overwhelming,’ says Jess Ducey, EdFest curator and producer. \u2018EdFest is an experiment in collective ways of sharing the risk of creating art – and hopefully making some friends along the way.’<\/p>\n

Fifteen shows were selected from a pool of 42 applicants, and each will present a one-night-only preview before they leave for the world’s largest theatre festival, running from 7-31 August 2026 in Edinburgh. Much like the Fringe, shows run a broad gamut of themes, genres, and styles. \u201cWhether you’re in the mood to reckon with fame, process grief, lament capitalism, start a revolution, search for love and connection, clown around, dance, paint, immerse yourself in sound and light, or laugh yourself silly, we’ve got something to tickle your fancy,’ Ducey says.<\/p>\n

Audiences are invited to support indie artists and discover the next breakout Fringe hit at Brooklyn Art Haus this summer.<\/p>\n

EdFest runs from 14-19 July 2026 at Brooklyn Art Haus, 24 Marcy Avenue at 7pm and 9pm, plus 2pm matinees on Saturday and Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
