This year the festival runs from 2nd August to 26th August and there are some massive stars performing. If you get the chance to go, you’re sure of a fantastic time. The first Edinburgh Festival took place after the end of the Second World War. The concept was devised to help the people of the UK heal from the effects of the war through the arts. It was a time of positivity, but also a time of sadness, with so many loved ones lost in the war. The first ever festival took place in 1947 and it has been an annual event ever since. Alongside the Edinburgh International Festival runs the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the biggest arts festival on the planet, with tens of thousands of performances across hundreds of venues. August is certainly an amazing time to visit the beautiful city of Edinburgh. The Edinburgh International Book Festival also takes place in August, from 10th to 26th. If you can’t make it to the Edinburgh this year, look out for coverage on BBC iPlayer and BBC Radio 3. 2019 Festival Highlights So many big names come to Edinburgh to take part in the Festival and this year is certainly no exception.
