Edinburgh’s Christmas brings magic, charm, and sparkle to the city every year - but it also shines a spotlight on what makes the capital truly special.

From championing local businesses to hosting events that celebrate the city’s talent, creativity, and community spirit, the seven-week festival is a vibrant showcase of the people and places that define Edinburgh.

It’s a season that feels special not only because of the twinkling lights and festive tunes, but thanks to a shared appreciation for the traditions, culture, and creativity that make Edinburgh what it is.
