Edinburgh Art Events

Edinburgh art events and festivals are world famous. So much so that Edinburgh is known as the festival city.

The event for which Edinburgh is probably most well known is the Edinburgh Festival. However what most people do not realise is The Edinburgh Festival is a generic term used to describe the cultural explosion in August each year.

Since the late 1940s Edinburgh has become a hotspot for artistic talent beginning with the International Festival and the Fringe festival. The summer programme has grown with the Edinburgh Book Festival, the largest book festival in the world, the Edinburgh Film Festival, a world renowned showcase of cinematic talent and the Military Tattoo in the magnificent backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
