From September 10th to 27th, 2024 (culminating in a prestigious closing event on October 8th) in addition to the Fringe performances there will be a series of cultural events, mostly with free entry, in performance spaces spread across various neighborhoods throughout the city of Milan.
“Off-Off” Milan will take over streets, squares, public and private spaces with numerous initiatives celebrating enjoyment, culture, and multidisciplinary arts. In line with the theme, Journey, this year’s Milano Off includes a series of professional tour guides which will lead audiences in a rediscovery of their city, through the places, stories, and legends that make Milan unique.
Artists of all kinds will perform in our Village Off and in surrounding festival areas, offering music, street performances, days dedicated to Journey and Poetry, and projects that will continue even after the Festival.
#THE FESTIVAL DOESN'T END.

An evening gala presentation of the Festival at Teatro Litta.

DAL 15 SETTEMBRE AL 12 OTTOBRE
6 eventi ad ingresso gratuito in tre location dove lo sport è protagonita.
Fringe e Sport si inserisce nel percorso di avvicinamento ai Giochi Olimpici e Paralimpici Milano Cortina 2026, contribuendo con un’azione culturale che racconta lo sport come metafora della vita, strumento di inclusione e motore di cambiamento. Il progetto vuole costruire un ponte tra arti performative e spirito olimpico, promuovendo una visione più ampia e consapevole del ruolo dello sport nella società contemporanea.
