	Edinburgh Festival Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		"The Edinburgh Festival" is the name usually applied to the collection of festivals taking place in the city from the end of July to the end of August each year, a period during which Edinburgh becomes home to the world's biggest arts festival and more than doubles its normal population.
		This is traditionally followed by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ("The Fringe") from early August to the end of the month.
		Visitors to Edinburgh should also remember that there are a number of other festivals in the city at other times of the year.

	Edinburgh International Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first International Festival (and the first Festival Fringe, although it wasn't known as such until later) took place in 1947, in the wake of the Second World War, with an optimistic remit to 'provide a platform for the flowering of the human spirit' and enrich the cultural life of Scotland, Britain and Europe.
		The founders of the Festival included Rudolf Bing, (then the General Manager of Glyndebourne Opera Festival), Henry Harvey Wood the Head of the British Council in Scotland, and a group of civic leaders from the City of Edinburgh.
		In 1999, the International Festival moved to a permanent home in The Hub, formerly 'The Highland Tolbooth' - an architecturally remarkable building a couple of minutes' walk from Edinburgh Castle, originally built as an assembly house for the Church of Scotland.

		Complimenting the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe, The Edinburgh Tattoo is a must-see performance during your festival itinerary and certainly merits its status as one of the world’s most spectacular showcases, entertaining an audience of over 200,000 beneath the glowing backdrop of Edinburgh Castle at nightfall.
