Edinburgh Fringe

August arts explosion

The Edinburgh Fringe is the world's largest arts festival, held annually in Edinburgh, Scotland, during August.

Unlike curated festivals, the Fringe is open-access—anyone can stage a show.

It features thousands of performances across comedy, theater, music, and spoken word: She's taking her one-woman show to the Edinburgh Fringe.

Often shortened to the Fringe.
