 Street theater during the Fringe Festival by Travelchili If you can be in Edinburgh over the three last weeks in late summer, you will have a great opportunity to follow one of the world's most important art festivals. You can choose between hundreds of theater performances, stand-up comedies, and variety of art-related events. You can pick up the Fringe Festival catalogue at their official office in 180 High Street and you can also purchase the tickets there. Leave a Comment

by Sjalen Be there during the festival in August.
The festival with all its crazy acts like 'Sing-a-long-a-Malcolm, as seen on TV' (Malcolm sang 'You are my Sunshine' in his very own way to anyone who would listen). There was also 'Inside Out Theatre' (see picture) performing their version of a James Bond movie. It was called 'The Man with the Golden Trumpet' and I was overjoyed when I later caught them in London's Covent Garden too! Apart from all the street performers and the festival, there is the official festival Fringe with theatre plays in every part of town. We opted for the 'Pocket Shakespeare Company' and their version of A Midsummer Night's Dream in Pilrig Park. You should have seen the man in the moon! Leave a Comment

by feline01 Visit Edinburgh Castle & see a military tatoo. No, it is not when a group of army lads line up & have their rank tattoed, it's a military march complete with bagpipes.
Spending a night with a good friend and having no accomodation & no money. Got to explore the entire city at night including the 24-hour toilet, train station & every local park. Leave a Comment

Go see one of the festivals. All summer long Edinburgh is full of music, theatre, dance and comedy. There also is a book festival and a film festival and the Military Tattoo on the square in front of the castle. The Fringe Festival is excellent. The city is really crowded during July and August, but September is much better. And there still are a lot of things worth seeing. Leave a Comment

 Princes Street Hogmanay Party by hevbell I have so many fond memories of my time living in Edinburgh but among the most memorable are probably those when I spent Hogmanay (New years Eve to those non-Scots :)) at the huge street party that takes place annually on Princes Street. The atmosphere was amazing last time I was there. There are fireworks at midnight, live bands (this year was Moby), funfair etc The fair lasts all week and there are other events such as a torchlit procession. Leave a Comment

A must in Edinburgh is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. Some of the shows are extremely hard for forget good or bad! The buzz around the city and nightlife is hard to beat except maybe at the Edinburgh Hogmany at New Year. This is the party to be at in the world!!!
The pubs in Edinburgh! You are never far from one and most will recieve you with a true welcome especially in the city centre.
