Get ready for a night of dancing you won't forget! Mayple will be spinning tunes live for everyone, with a mixture of Bass, UKG, and more throughout the night! Catch him at our DIGS City Beach after party on Friday Night at 9 PM.

Cover: $5. Pay at the door or buy ahead of time at marquettefringe.org/events

Michigan based artist Mayple, aka Jaemes Chouinard, has quickly become a known name in the freeform bass community. His ability to create lush atmospheres while still delivering hard hitting basses and frequency bending subs is what elevates his project to the next level. Taking inspiration from artists such as Of The Trees, Mersiv, and CharlestheFirst, he has created a style of bass by blending elements of 140 and modern dub, with enchanting melodies and tantalizing synths.

Closing down The Honorable Distillery on Saturday night is Marquette’s own DJ, producer, and EDM artist: Conway.

Conway has performed with Marquette Fringe for several years at our Fall Phantasm events. He brings original beats and immaculate vibes to any party, big or small.

Conway joins three other acts for the Neon and Velvet Variety Show. Get your tickets and learn about the other performers at marquettefringe.org/events

Apostle joins the Neon and Velvet Late-Night Variety Show for the last performance of the night at The Honorable Distillery.

With a mix of classic and neo-burlesque, "Cherry Pie" is an ode to the performers who started it all with a twist! Keeping the Apostle spark, this routine gets fiery and fetishy all at once! Enjoy the sultry atmosphere and be surprised at the kinky twist Apostle has in store for you! “‘I Only Want You’ is a fan favorite number devoted entirely to the bisexuals of the world! With the motto raging, “Bisexuals Belong at Pride!”, this performance is a powerful and sexy tribute to all the bi baddies out there!

All shows just $10, and space is limited! Get your tickets today at marquettefringe.org/events

Finish the Fringe festival with a powerful performance from U.P. punk bands on the Ore Dock Brewing stage on Sat. October 24th.

VISCERA, a three piece hardcore punk outfit from Sault Ste. Marie, is joined by Marquette's own acidpunk band Knupdica and indie punk band Addicus.

All three members of VISCERA bring unique influences to the table, from classic hardcore to metal and even jazz, for a sound that is unique and entirely their own. Viscera's lyrics touch on topics such as modern politics and the human condition.

Knupdica is a Marquette, MI based digital hardcore duo blending punk ethos with a fresh sonic attack of electronic elements mixed with heavy nu metal and industrial guitar riffs. Knupdica brings the party back from the '90s but through a modern lens of Trap Metal and Punk Rap while delivering high octance bangers focused on social commentary and political rage.

Formed in 2022, Marquette-based band Addicus blends genres of indie, rock, grunge, pop, and punk.

Don’t miss the experience. Get your tickets at marquettefringe.org/events

Bring your dollars and leave your inhibitions at the door! With Ostara DeLune, you never know what she's going to do next, but she will leave you begging for more!

Inspiried by renaissance faires, fairy tales, and medieval realms, her act takes tells the tale of a fearsome warrior princess, bound by duty to protect her kingdom. After a hard battle, she retires to her castle for a moment of softness, sensuality, and femininity that she cannot show the rest of the world.

Ostara brings her fantasy burlesque performance to The Honorable Distillery stage along in our late-night variety show, Neon and Velvet.

Get tickets for Neon and Velvet and explore more shows at marquettefringe.org/events
