'Fringe Sunday' at the Meadows
Don't miss 'Fringe Sunday' at the Meadows, Edinburgh. Set to take the box offices of the Edinburgh Fringe by storm, it is set for Sunday August 10th 2008. There are no tickets for this event and what is more, it is free of charge! A brilliant annual event - long may it live!
My favourite day throughout the whole of the Fringe is that of the second Sunday of the Edinburgh Festival. The Meadows, situated within walking distance south of the city centre, is usually a public park but on 'Festival Sunday' it becomes alive with the sound of revelling festival goers! It is on this day it becomes transformed into platforms for the talented from musicians to sword swallowers. Also here, you'll find many conjurers, market stalls armed with refreshments and those all important promotional show tents.
Pick a tent and take a seat! You have entered the realm of the show promo. This is when you get to sample the hundreds of the acts set to hit the stages of Edinburgh throughout the festival. A five minute sample of what is to come is the best way for shows to promote their performances and a great opportunity for them to try to stand out from the crowd. Watch in amazement as artistes leap onto the stage, perform for their lives and exit with equal enthusiasm. You will be left reeling in the crazy aftermath!
Don't miss 'Fringe Sunday'! It is good fun, you'll have a much better idea of what tickles your fancy and what shows to book up. This event is guaranteed to leave you BEGGING for more!

Edinburgh International Film FestivalEurope's longest running film festival, the Edinburgh International Film Festival was to set the silver screens alight in the month of June instead of taking its usual slot in August. Would it turn out to be a huge success or a resounding flop? The 2008 Edinburgh International Film Festival removed of the usual August festival commotion, I'm glad to say, went on to be a resounding success. Box office figures were up 5% on 2007 proving the film festival can stand on its own two feet and doesn't need to rely on large volumes already visiting the city to fill its auditoriums. Good news film fans, the new June EIFF date seems to be jolly well here to stay!
