A Festival City

A trip to Edinburgh during one of it's many Festivals is an unforgettable experience.  The city's streets and buildings are an ideal stage, each transforming the city in its own unique way.  Edinburgh in June plays host to the Edinburgh International Film Festival and in August is the setting for no less than seven world-class festivals: the main Edinburgh International Festival, Book, Art, Jazz & Blues, Fringe, Tattoo and the Mela.  At this time of year the city never sleeps and Edinburgh becomes an inescapable, overwhelming, non-stop celebration of the arts:  film, theatre, street performances, books, children's events, talks, exhibitions, music, drama, dance, comedy, military bands and lots more.  With thirteen festivals held in Edinburgh throughout the year, this really is the Festival City.  Find out more at edinburghfestivals.co.uk
