Experience one of the world’s great arts festivals with your Arena Stage community. Spend six days in Edinburgh enjoying exceptional performances, lively conversation, and time to experience the city at the height of its festival season.
The Edinburgh International Festival shares many of the qualities we value at Arena: ambitious artistry, different voices and perspectives, and a spirit of discovery. Just as Arena champions new work and the artists creating it, the Festival offers an exciting opportunity to encounter fresh ideas, bold artistic choices, and work from artists around the world.
We invite you to experience it together and share the conversations and memorable moments that make discovering new work so rewarding.
Experience
The Festival
Our group will attend a curated selection of Edinburgh International Festival performances, chosen in partnership with Arena Stage’s artistic team, with opportunities to experience theater alongside music, opera, dance, and other Festival offerings.
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
A highlight of our visit will be the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, held on the Castle Esplanade at Edinburgh Castle. This celebrated Scottish tradition brings together military musicians and performers from around the world for an evening of music and pageantry.
There will also be time to explore Edinburgh independently, attend additional performances, and experience the Festival according to your own interests.
