These include conferences, fairs, ceilidhs, student events, and other functions. A number of fund-raising events are held around this, including ceilidhs and dances. However, in Scotland the circuit of ceilidhs and festivals helped prop up traditional music. Many of Niel Gow's compositions are still played today at ceilidhs and country dances. The tune is popular and appears frequently at Scottish country dances and ceilidhs. Until 1954, the Edinburgh Festival Ceilidhs were an annual event. Attractions include concerts, ceilidhs, workshops, dance displays, street markets and family areas. In the evenings they would gather at ceilidhs to exchange folk songs. Ceilidhs are also common in the city's halls.
