The Edinburgh Festival is a generic term used to describe the cultural explosion in August each year. Since the late 1940s Edinburgh has become a hotspot for artistic talent beginning with the International Festivaland the Fringe. The summer programme has grown with the Edinburgh Book Festival, the largest book festival in the world, the Edinburgh Film Festival, a world renowned showcase of cinematic talent and the Military Tattoo in the magnificent backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. The Jazz festival starting in late July and the Edinburgh Mela in the last days of August bookend a phenomenal six weeks of arts and culture in the city. Hogmanay is theworld's most famous celebration of New Year, the Edinburgh Science festival is a springtime journey of discovery in its own right and the Children's Festival starts the summer with playful exuberance.It's no wonder that Edinburgh has truly become the FESTIVAL CITY.
