There are shows for children, young people and adults. There are shows for people of all tastes: dance shows, music concerts, photography and art exhibitions , plays and more.

Whatever you like you can find something to see. And at whatever time of day, you can watch what you want: the first shows start at 9 a. m. , and the last finish at around 2 a. m. Some shows at the festival can be a little expensive but many are very cheap, and lots are completely free.

For those who cannot decide what to see, there are lots of shows on the Royal Mile. It’s Edinburgh’s main street for tourists. There are always singers, actors and musicians offering free shows to the crowds.
