A streamlined Edinburgh Festival was staged in August 2021 with COVID regulations still having an impact on the cultural industries across the world.

Over 670 shows took place – in person and online – as part of the Edinburgh Fringe across the month, while the Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival and Edinburgh Art Festival all staged streamlined editions. The Edinburgh International Film Festival also returned to an August slot for the first time in many years.

ThreeWeeks recommended and reviewed plenty of shows during the festival month and interviewed a number of the people involved in making it happen.
