Edinburgh Festival Fringe has unveiled it full programme of events to mark its 75th anniversary.The festival will be held between 5 and 29 August. It is the first full programme of events since 2019.
Organisers said issues tackled this year will include refugees, race, women's safety, disability, mental health and climate change.Street performers had restricted hours and spaces last year due to Covid "Venues, producers and artists have created an amazing array of performances and events which dig into some of the most topical themes being discussed in the world today."
City of Edinburgh Council leader, Cammy Day, said the programme would "impress, entertain and educate audiences of all ages". And yet, they've signed up in their thousands - 3,171 shows with nearly 50,000 performances. That's about 80 per cent of the number from 2019. No bad thing for a city that felt like it was creaking under the weight of its many festivals.
