“Fringe” Indie Music Video Party | Madrone Art Bar

Fringe, the indie music video dance party, happens every third Saturday at Madrone Art Bar.

Free before 10 pm with an RSVP; otherwise, it’s $5.

“In this multimedia age, there’s one dance night in the city that rules them all, and it goes by the name of Fringe. It’s the indie music lovers’ holy grail, complete with giant video projections–which means for one night a month, you can pretend the glory of MTV never died.” – 7×7 Magazine

Voted “Best Dance Party” in SFWeekly’s Best of San Francisco for 5 years in a row & “Best Overall Dance Party” in Best of the Bay.
