Oh, yeah, sure, the Fringe Festival is like Thankschristmasbirthday for Orlando’s vibrant theater community, but it’s also kind of a nice windfall for local music fans too. Nearly every night during the festival, there will be local artists playing the outdoor stage near the beer garden. This means four excellent things: 1) local music, 2) it’s outside, 3) it’s free (like, free-free; you don’t have to buy a Fringe button to watch), and, 4) BEER. Awesome, right? Right.
