The 2012 Cincinnati Fringe is one for the record books. Attendance was up almost 7% with total attendance of nearly 7,700. As reported early, Saturday, June 2nd had the highest single day attendance in nine years of 1,100.
From my experience, this year’s festival was also the best to date. Well-organized and well-run, this year’s festival chugged along like a well-oiled machine. Congratulations to everyone involved for a great job.
