Edinburgh International & Fringe Festival
you won’t believe the performances!
Each August, the town of Edinburgh in Scotland transforms into the biggest theater festival in the world! Thousands of performers come to the city from all over the world and put on their BEST performances. I’ve never seen so much talent in one place. Thousands of performances to choose from – Theater, Comedy, Musicals, Operas, Dance, Physical Theater and Circus, Music, Spoken Word, Cabaret, Events.
Edinburgh Fringe Performers
Performers take over the city for the world’s biggest arts festival. A showcase for everyone from major showbiz names to the undiscovered stars of tomorrow, the three-week festival transforms the city center streets and occupies every conceivable performing space. Each show costs from $16 – $35 and you can go to as many shows as you can pack in a day! Be prepared for creative, quirky, stunning performances.
Edinburgh Military Tattoo Performance
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo:
We have tickets to see the opening night! Set against the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, this 90-minute performance blends music, ceremony and spectacle. Over 1,000 military and civilian performers from around the world gather for a breathtaking display of music, history, dance and color. At the heart of every Tattoo is the stirring sight and sound of the massed pipes and drums from the Scottish regiments. (What do they wear under those kilts?)
