CrankieFest is a 3 day festival celebrating the art of the scrolling story. We celebrate the crankie as an art form with a selection of pieces that range from traditional to experimental, humorous to somber, heartfelt to crude. 

JOIN US THIS SEPTEMBER 25TH, 26TH, AND 27TH!

House opens at 7pm, show at 7:30 pm all nights.

Masks encouraged all nights, but:

Friday's performance will have an ASL interpreter.

Sunday's performance will be masks required (we have some if you forget one!)

There will be some tickets available day-of, but get 'em online while you can!

We will have a large bike rack and strongly encourage you to BIKE. There is VERY limited parking, so if you choose to drive, expect to park in the neighborhood & walk a little ways.

Please email us at crankiefest@gmail.com if you need accessible parking.

More accessibility info: Crankie fest occurs in a residential backyard. The backyard is dirt and slightly uneven, with soft ground and fairly narrow passageways. A wheelchair accessible portapotty is available.
