enroot Gatherings: York Story Slam, York Fringe Festival, and Kable House Presents

Mission

Your support means growing a stronger, more vibrant arts community in York. enroot is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has been building creative and meaningful shared experiences across the city since 2017, producing four York Fringe festivals, more than 130 performances, and thousands of audience connections, along with year-round programs like Kable House Presents and the monthly York Story Slam. Our gatherings are designed to bring people together, uncover commonalities, promote understanding, and build a network of support among artists and audiences.

The York Fringe Festival is an event that invites artists of all ages to present original works, bold ideas, and reimagined classics throughout the city. From dance, comedy, drag, theater, and improv to spoken word, circus arts, magic, and immersive performance, Fringe celebrates the full spectrum of live arts that make York a thriving cultural community.

Your gift helps keep participation affordable, elevates emerging and local artists, and ensures that these creative, connective experiences remain accessible to everyone. Learn more about all our programming at enrootyork.org.
