The City of Edinburgh’s celebration of summer festivals, inspirational music and breath-taking Virgin Money Fireworks concert brings the 2016 Edinburgh International Festival to a resplendent conclusion.
Set against the iconic background of Edinburgh’s historic Castle, this spectacular event brings together stirring orchestral music from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and magnificent pyrotechnics, specially choreographed by international fireworks artist Pyrovision to enhance your musical experience. Around a quarter of a million people gather across the city and beyond to share in this annual grand festival season finale each year.
