Edinburgh Fringe: Out and About at the Festival
The New York Times: It’s summer in Edinburgh and visitors from around the world have arrived for the 77th edition of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the chaotic, scrappy, sprawling arts event that opened Friday and runs through Aug. 26. This year, there are more than 3,600 shows on the program, by artists from 58 countries: theater, stand-up, circus and cabaret performances, as usual — but also film screenings, whiskey tastings and a life drawing class with dogs.

I love reading articles about the Edinburgh Fringe! It’s still a bucket list event for me - different members of my extended family in the area go every year and it genuinely sounds like such an interesting entertainment event - just the sheer amount of variety involved is really cool. As the article brings up, the fact that there are artists from all over the world (58 countries!) to participate in this jam packed festival of art of so many mediums and styles is an incredible feat in itself. This festival allows for so much creativity to be on display as this article captures with the sheer variety of things pictured in the various (great!) images featured within it. I would love to make it out to this event one day to experience it first hand - whether that be attending as an attendee or working it within a specific production or venue, here’s to hoping I can!
