'Every single stage actor in the world wants to be here' - Wagner Moura, you're making us blush 😊
Were you one of the lucky audience members that got to share this stage with the Oscar-nominated actor?
If you want to be party of this years Edinburgh Hogmanay Torchlight Procession [29 Dec] - lighting up the city with a river of fire, created by 15,000 torch bearers and friends from around the world - then get your tickets ASAP. They're on sale NOW. Details below.
We're getting ready for the launch [15 Sept] of our next festival - Scottish International Storytelling Festival, based out of the Storytelling Centre on the Royal Mile- & we thought we'd let you know what makes it so special. Does it sound special to you?

Just like that, we say goodbye to Edinburgh's summer festivals for another year! 🎪✨
From the sound of street performers and buzzing crowds echoing down the royal mile, to the pipes and drums of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, an unmistakable energy has filled the city. Until next time… 🎉

Missing: one roof (blown off) 💃
Senegal's legendary dance band, Orchestra Baobab, brought the party to The Hub with an infectious hybrid of Mandinka, Wolof and Serer styles with Latin rhythms. We're still dancing today! 🕺

A tremendous honor to be the first U.S. Ambassador to take the salute at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in its 76-year history, where our nations’ lasting friendship and many ties were on display for all to see! The U.S. Army Field Band joined the performance, showcasing the best of the United States’ military musical traditions, as we continue to celebrate our 250th anniversary.

August in Edinburgh - a month full of festival magic, all weathers and exciting events. Come rain or shine, the city has been bustling with all of Edinburgh's summer festivals, new business openings and visitors exploring the streets for the first time. As we head towards autumn, we can't wait to see what another season brings to Scotland's capital.

Nao-cola Yamazaki, 🇯🇵 popular author, at Edinburgh International Book Festival!📚
Her experimental way of writing should be very hard to translate. With the efforts of the author and the translator, the English edition has become splendid!
