The aim of this article is to show Edinburgh as a city identified by its festivals. Two of them-Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe-influenced cultural landscape of Scottish capital the most, and therefore they were analyzed extensively in this study. I intend to show how the concepts of “space” and “place” surface in the reception of the Edinburgh festivals. I’m presenting both-the residents’ and visitors’-perspectives. I’m trying to better understand how the city, art, and people collide, cooperate and-in the end-coexist.
