The 2026 Edinburgh Festival Carnival will take place in the city centre on Sunday 19 July.
A dazzling explosion of music, dance, and international culture, this free event will features hundreds of performers in energetic parades and on live stages throughout West Princes Street Gardens. Together with our incredible local and international performers, we create a kaleidoscope energetic choreography, synchronised live drumming and spectacular costume designs.
