Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe Festival, Edinburgh, Scotland: One of Europe’s premier cultural extravaganzas, the festival features the art, dance, film, plays, and music of some of the world’s top creative talents and performers. The traditional bagpipes-and-kilt Military Tattoo at the castle is the festival’s elliptical highlight. The Edinburgh International Festival takes place over three weeks in August and early September. The August Fringe Festival started off as a small, experimental offshoot to the main festival, but over the past decade it has exploded in popularity (and ticket sales, topping 1 million in 2003) and now boasts more than 1,500 shows and events — compare that to the 111 offered as part of the official Edinburgh Festival in 2004. Either way, August is a fantastic time to be in UGG Classic Tall Edinburgh.
