 Every August, Edinburgh plays host to the annual Fringe Festival, which is an explosive celebration of performing arts and creative energy. The city transforms into a hive of activity and excitement. Along the Royal Mile, street performers showcase their acrobatic talents. Artists take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows of various categories such as theatre, dance and many more. I was lucky to grab 5-pound tickets to the preview of Ben Hart's Magic Show and two for the price of one ticket to be serenaded by the acapella group out of the blue. I highly recommend the Fringe Festival to all students coming to the University of Edinburgh.
