The St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival is a festival that hosts fringe theatre, repertory, dance, music, and drag-queen performances in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1] The festival is held annually and lasts for 20 days in June.[2] The festival was previously run by Jeremy Hechtman and Patrick Goddard,[3] but Hechtman stepped down in 2010 after being in the position for 15 years.[4] The festival has been run since 2011 by choreographer Amy Blackmore.[5] McAuslan Brewing sponsors the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival and several other festivals in Montreal, including Pop Montreal, the Montreal World Film Festival, and the Fantasia Festival.[6] The 2007 festival featured a mass fake marriage for theatre-goers at the beginning of the festival and then a corresponding mass fake divorce at the end symbolised by the eating of timbits.[7]
