From the end of July until the beginning of September, the city of Edinburgh will become a glittering stage where the magic of the city really comes to life. Without a shadow of doubt, this festival truly offers something for everyone, including theatre, performance arts, dance, music and cinema. The only thing needed is a passion for entertainment.
A wealth of artists from all corners of the globe will come together for the festival, which will take place in a series of six separate yet cojoining events; The International Festival of Edinburgh, the Fringe, the International Cinematography Festival, The Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, the International Book Festival and the People’s Festival of Edinburgh. Each event has its own unique programme and official website, and tickets are sold through their own organising bodies. The Fringe has its distinct personality, yet this nature has not always been welcomed by the official festival, particularly between the 1950s and 1970s. The competitive nature between the two festivals has gradually calmed down, yet the Fringe has retained its individual style and experimental touch, standing out from the the rest of the programme.
Whatever your musical taste, age or personal style, the Edinburgh Festival will keep the whole family entertained from dawn until dusk. Come and be dazzled by the magic of the Scottish capital!
