Visit the Edinburgh Festival
Every year, thousands of people come to Edinburgh, the capital city
of Scotland, to be part of the Edinburgh Festival. For three weeks
every August and September the city is filled with actors and artists
from all over the world. They come to Edinburgh for the biggest arts
festival in Britain. During this time, the streets of the city are filled
with music and dancing from early in the morning until late at night.
You can even see artists painting pictures on the streets.
Tens of thousands of tourists come to the Festival to see new films
and plays and to hear music played by famous musicians. This
year, you can see over five hundred performances with actors from
more than forty countries.
The tickets for these performances are quite cheap, and it is usually
easier to see your favourite star in Edinburgh than it is in London.
So come to the Edinburgh festival next summer!
