In August, Edinburgh is taken over by Festivals. Loads of them. Dozens. More festivals than any city has a right to enjoy in so short a space of time. Frankly, it's sickening...but also brilliantly exciting.
It all starts in July (with the International Film Festival in June), technically, but most events happen in August. There's the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, the Edinburgh Art Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival, the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the Edinburgh Mela, and - of course - the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The city gets busy, expensive, and very happening. It's a gorgeous city, so I'm willing to let it off being so sickenly Festivalised. And yes, that is a real word...probably.
To keep on top of what's going on in Edinburgh this Summer, keep an eye on these sites:
ThreeWeeks, who cover most of what happens,
http://www.threeweeks.co.uk/edinburgh/edaily.html
and
Fringe Review, who select what they review.
Both will be carrying reviews by me this year - which is stupidly exciting.
