Edinburgh International Festival

Edinburgh's six major theatres and concert halls, a few smaller venues and often some unconventional ones too, come alive with the best music, theatre, opera and dance from around the globe.

Festival 2015 will run from 7 to 31 August, opening with an incredible free event, The Harmonium Project, in Festival Square and the Virgin Money Fireworks Concert will bring the summer festival season to an explosive conclusion.
