The Edinburgh Festival Fringe
The Fringe will look a little different this year but the world's biggest cultural festival will run with a blended approach to give performers and attendees an element of normality again. Audiences will be able to access a wide range of performances through socially distanced in-person events, scheduled online performances and on-demand digital shows.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe will take place between 6th and 30th August 2021 with hundreds of performances taking place across the city.
You can watch performances from the comfort of your own home live with scheduled online shows, or make use of the new Fringe Player by watching the performances back at your own leisure with both featuring captioning built-in.
With precautions still in place, there will be no familiar Fringe guide printed and engagement will be mostly online. Every event will be e-ticketed and physical contact will be minimal where possible. Street events will make a return so get ready to tip those buskers!
