Every theater, pub, and street corner in town is filled with dancers, painters, actors, comedians, musicians, and poets in what has become the world’s largest arts festival.
What began as the Edinburgh International Festival, which included the famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, has evolved into an entire month of varying artistic showcases. Every theater, pub, and street corner in town is filled with dancers, painters, actors, comedians, musicians, and poets in what has become the world’s largest arts festival. The Fringe began as a cheaper alternative to the high prices and elitist nature of the International Festival. The prices have raised on tickets as the Fringe has become a worldwide phenomenon, but it’s still an excellent time to be Scotland’s capital!
