The Edinburgh International Festival

The Edinburgh International Festival




The next festival I'm going to introduce is Edinburgh International Festival. This festival is held in Edinburgh, Scotland from the middle of August to early September. This festival is actually for artists. Lots of opera, ballet, play, orchestra will be showing on this festival. Actually the genre could be anything. Comedy, exhibit..... Maybe I can show people something as well :) Edinburgh is crowded with many unknown and famous artists around August. That means even if you're not famous artist, you could enjoy the festival!!

The origin of this festival started in 1947. It was one of the efforts to harmonize Europe since the Second World War. The highlight of this festival is Military tattoo. Military band are marching tying bagpipes and drums which are traditional Scottish instrument in Edinburgh castle. After that, many bands from around the world are playing songs.


They are playing on the street. Aren't they look free?


This is one the Military tattoo. They are so organized!



  This is the combine of every people which performed. Can you see the Korean traditional fans in the middle of the picture? They are especially beautiful :-)

If you want to feel artistic soul and find some more fun, check this festival!
