dancers. This epic show, unique every year, takes place at the haunting
Edinburgh Castle illuminated under the open sky. In the past, the show’s themes
have paid tribute to nature, the Queen’s 90th birthday, and Scotland's
homecoming, to name a few. This international festival comes alive with
performers from a multitude of countries and audience members from around the
world. Military pageantry and cultural celebrations, culminating with a
spectacular fireworks display, set the stage for an amazing evening.
