In the dark of a summer night, a warm flicker and then another and another. The night briefly fills with the luminescence of fireflies. Just like the elusive spark of the firefly, childhood is brief and magical. Fireflies on the Fringe is a performing arts festival for young audiences where professional and emerging artists bring wonder and magic to the stage for our youngest theatre goers.
​
Fireflies on the Fringe, Guelph’s Festival of Performing Arts for Young Audiences, will take place during the Guelph Fringe Festival on Saturday August 10 and Sunday August 11. With full support from the CAFF, Fireflies on the Fringe aims to expand the reach of Fringe across age demographics, and is inspired by Fringe festivals across Canada and across the globe offering programming for young audiences as part of their Fringe programming.
Thank you to our Fireflies on the Fringe Sponsor!

Puppetmongers Theatre presents the Brick Bros. Circus! A tongue in cheek, miniature one-ring circus, performed by highly trained building bricks in itty bitty costumes! Be amazed by the acrobatic Bildovitch family; awestruck by the beautiful Madame Brikaskova on her High Trapeze; astounded by the unbelievable brick Contortionist, and much much more!
Puppetmongers Theatre, now in its 50th year, has performed across Canada, the US, Europe, and Iran. Nominated for two Chalmers Play Awards and eleven Dora Mavor Moore Awards, Puppetmongers has received five Citations for Excellence from the Union International de la Marionnette, plus the Award for Artistic Excellence and The President’s Award from the Puppeteers of America.
