Leith Festival is one of Edinburgh’s oldest community festivals, celebrating the Leith area with a week of events including live music, comedy, theatre, art exhibitions, markets, children’s activities, and outdoor cinema.
It features performances at venues like Leith Theatre, community halls, and parks, plus free and ticketed gigs, food stalls, and family-friendly days.
The festival highlights local talent and Leith’s unique character. Think gigs in historic spots, street entertainment, and a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere away from the city centre buzz.
