Scotland’s Festivals – August 2022

Some of Scotland’s best-loved festivals have been enjoying an epic return to in-person gatherings this month in Edinburgh and some of these (looking at you Edinburgh Fringe, Edinburgh International Festival, and the Edinburgh International Film Festival) are also celebrating their 75th anniversary. The capital has become a global melting pot of creativity and the greatest single celebration of arts and culture on the planet.

Scotland’s cultural, sporting, and business festivals are a vital component of our tourism offering and they also showcase what it’s like to live and work here, helping to create inward investment and attract people to relocate here.

So this August as Edinburgh marks a major milestone, let’s celebrate what they offer and the warm Scottish welcome that they come wrapped in. Hashtags: #ScotlandIsNow #ScotlandHour

Delighted guest hosts are @scotland and @edfests as co-hosts. VisitScotland, Creative Scotland, and EventScotland will all participate too.
