A fun visit to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland this year. For those who don't know, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival. It was established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh Festival and takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, with show categories including Cabaret, Children's shows, Comedy, Dance, Physical Theatre & Circus, Events, Exhibitions, Music, Musicals and Opera, Spoken Word and Theatre. This is the largest street fair of its kind in the world.
A lot of the outdoor activities take place around the Royal Mile, Prince's Street area. When we is visited down the whole area was jam packed with barely any elbow room to move. I was there was for two days (one day it rained so the street cleared up). I decided to photograph some of the street performers as well some of the mobile acts marketing various plays and performances.
If I had to describe it - wacky, chaotic, frenetic, creative. Did I mention crazy?
