Presented by the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival, the Edinburgh Festival Carnival takes places on the first Sunday of the festival. A dazzling explosion of music, dance, and international culture, this free event features over 700 performers in energetic parades and on live stages throughout West Princes Street Gardens.
This free 25 minute film gives a wonderful flavour of the carnival and celebrates the incredible day we had on Sunday 13 July 2025. It will be live from 10am on Saturday 1 November and will be available to watch until 5pm on Sunday 30 November.
