On reason why I chose this course at the beginning of August was that it took place during the time of the EDINBURGH FESTIVAL http://www.eif.co.uk/ - one of the most famous festivals not only in Scotland but all over Britain. Every year more than 2 million visitors come for these three weeks in August and September.
They can see various performances of music from theatre, opera, jazz, dance, modern and a lot more.
At the same time the EDINBURGH FRINGE https://www.edfringe.com/ takes place - a festival of street art, theatre, music, and other life shows in pubs for "free" - of course donations are always welcome!
The town is very crowded at that time, but it is still worth visiting. The photos can show you only a small glimpse of the whole thing:

| Bagpiper in the Royal Mile |
 |
| Most viewers felt a bit embarrassed for that guy... |
 |
| The audience have to join in the fun - the little boy did a good job |
 |
| They walk through the town to promote their performances in the evening |
The FRINGE:
The world's largest arts festival with over 40,000
performances and more than 2,500 shows packed into 250 venues across the
city.

| This band performed in a converted church... |
 |
| ...which looks more like a pub now |
 |
| While the band were playing he was painting the guests |
 |
| Promotion for the local Warhammer shop |
Throughout the year there are even more festivals in Edinburgh. The next important takes place at the end of this year, it is called HOGMANAY - but I'm NOT going to tell you what this is in this blog - if you are curious, follow this link maybe you can find out yourself:
