The Royal Mile is alive with tourists, the street acts are beginning to fill the air with cries and laughter. And today the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013 programme was launched.
With more than 2870 shows taking part in this year’s event it is their biggest ever programme, and heralds the beginning of Edinburgh’s Festival season.
These free programmes will soon be in every coffee house/pub/cafe in the city but today they were a little hard to find, I got mine from the Fringe information shop on the Royal Mile.
For more information, including a digital version to view online visit the Fringe website HERE.
Yesterday, I had an hour for lunch and headed into the fringe mayhem that is Edinburgh just now. Up the Royal Mile, along New Street and onto Princes Street Gardens. Along to the Galleries and up the steps onto the ‘Fringe on the Mound’ square in front of the National Art Gallery.
