Student Blog: Getting the Most Out of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

During the month of August, thousands flock to Edinburgh, Scotland to take part in the world’s largest performing arts festival, the annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe or “The Fringe.” Taking place during a three-week period, the festival transforms Edinburgh into one of the most active cities in Europe with local, national and international artists performing throughout the city all day, every day. The festival has been taking place in Edinburgh for seventy-five years, starting when eight theatre companies arrived uninvited to the Edinburgh International Festival, an elite theatre festival, and were not allowed to perform. Determined to showcase their work, these eight companies took up residence in local venues, such as pubs, hotels, basements and restaurants, performing their shows on the fringe of the Edinburgh International Festival. From that moment the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was born!
