The Leith Festival is a voluntary organisation with charitable status.

The festival celebrates all that Leith has to offer - our heritage, our culture, our diversity, our future and our people. It is a community arts festival that encompasses all art forms which comes together in a fantastic 10 day programme in the Summer. We have over 100 events in 50 venues within a 1 mile radius from the heart of Leith.

The 10 strands are:
THEATRE, DANCE AND PERFORMANCE
COMEDY
MUSIC
VISUAL ARTS
WALKS, TALKS AND OPEN DOORS
LITERATURE
FILM
SPORT
SPIRIT OF LEITH
GALA DAY

The festival operates an open policy and welcomes anyone and everyone to participate in the festival. You can register as an artist/performer/community group/sports person/organisation etc to put an event on. Registration forms are available from the office. Please contact Adele or Heather to discuss your event.

Leith Festival would not be able to operate without the tremendous amount of volunatary help and support we receive from residents, students and businesses. Thank you for your continued support!

For more information on the festival, please contact Adele Conn, Festival Manager or Heather Cameron, Assistant Festival Manager at the office 0131 555 4104.
