The dates of the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe are August 1 to 25, 2014.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (also called the Edinburgh Fringe or The Fringe) is an annual arts festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Festival showcases performing arts events such as comedy, dance, drama, and music. The Fringe is best known for the edgy experimental works that are shown each year. Many famous actors and comedians get their start at the festival, so be on the lookout for new talent.
Venues for the festival are located throughout the city, with many free performances happening on the street along the Royal Mile, which runs between Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyrood House. Others take place in theatres and various indoor venues throughout the city.
Tickets for the festival can be purchased in various ways. Some performances are free and attendees don’t need tickets. For others, tickets can be purchased on the street from people selling them in advance of the show. The most popular performances sell out far in advance, so if you want to see high-profile acts or well-known celebrities at the Festival Fringe, make sure to book in advance.
If you travel to Scotland for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, make sure to book your train or flight and your hotel early, as the Fringe is very popular and things book up well in advance.
