Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society is located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom on 180 High St. Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society is rated 4.5 out of 5 in the category arts organization in United Kingdom. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the greatest platform for creative freedom in the world – no individual or committee decides what should and should not appear. Anything is possible. The Fringe Society is a charity that was established by participants to act as the custodian of the Fringe. We exist to support, encourage and inspire artists from all backgrounds, provide information and assistance to audiences, and promote the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world. Every year, the international arts community comes together for the Fringe to perform, share ideas and make connections. It is the world’s foremost performing arts market where careers are made, and new and innovative work discovered. Fringe audiences are encouraged to take risks and try something new. The Fringe is a place to discover hidden gems, new genres, unusual spaces and the next big thing. The Fringe was one of the 20th century’s greatest innovations, a precursor to social media in providing a platform for anyone who wanted their voice to be heard. The Fringe continues to grow and evolve, embracing new technologies, audiences and ideas.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (also referred to as The Fringe or Edinburgh Fringe, or Edinburgh Fringe Festival) is the world's largest arts festival, which in 2018 spanned 25 days and featured more than 55,000 performances of 3,548 different shows in 317 venues. I participated in the event and it’s a life time experience.

Pictures are taken from the 2019 Fringe festival in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile. Really lovely festival with loads of different musician and artists from all around the world. You can enjoy free shows on the street (be sure to tip afterwards) or buy a ticket for one of the shows which are taking place all over town. Tickets can be purchased in different central locations around the city.

We walked into a venue and the woman at the cashier told us we'd absolutely love the show. We paid 32. The show was completely unwatchable. The Scottish accent was exaggerated to an unbelievable degree so that my wife and I couldn't understand one word in ten. We left after five minutes hoping for a refund but the cashier told us "so sorry, tough luck." Festival shows should cater to the international visitors by warning if a show is likely to not be understood by average attendees, and should have a reimbursement policy for people that realize a few minutes into a show that they've been misled.

Edinburgh is located in Scotland, United Kingdom. The fringe festival is one of the largest in the world and is such an amazing thing to see. There is so much to do and so many performances you’ll want to check out during the month of August. No matter where you went (it seemed) you could find something amazing to do. I would highly recommend seeing some of the stand up comedians.

In this office is where great people look after artists and delegates. Always feel welcomed.

It is a fine shop with tickets, posters (however, be warned that your favourite poster might be sold out), merchandise and friendly, patient staff. The staff was helpful, for instance explained to me where to find the actual ticket office (not directly in the shop) despite having the shop packed with customers. The ticket shop itself also was a pleasant experience (except whenever they had to tell me that a show was sold out). Whenever I got at the end of a long queue, I still was next in line within minutes since there were a good number of ticket ladies working. So I had made good experiences with the Fringe society while I was visiting the Fringe for the first time ever in 2017.
