The Edinburgh Festival has become known as the World’s largest arts festival. It is in reality, a collection of festivals held in and around the city during the month of August. The Festival promotes thousands of performances held at over 300 venues ranging from small intimate room settings to large concert halls. The atmosphere around the Old Town and the Royal Mile has to be experienced, the air sparks with excitement as dynamic street performers dazzle and entertain the crowds.
There is a huge selection of ticketed performances ranging from comedy, theatre, dance, cabaret, musicals, opera, music, circus, exhibitions and events. Although the Edinburgh Festival has become synonymous with the fantastic Comedy performances, the event promotes new talent as well as offering performances from established famous names of comedy.
Booking is highly recommended but the atmosphere and street performances are free for all ages to enjoy.
