Part of the greater Edinburgh International Festival, the Fringe Festival is one of the world’s largest and most famous art festivals, which had its beginning when unofficial theater groups set up their shows around the fringes of the main festival in 1947. Unlike the official festival, performers do not need to undergo a selection process to take part, and as a result it attracts a huge diversity of entertainers with hundreds of shows expressing a wide range of cultural and artistic performances.
