Ceilidh Culture
Ceilidh Culture is an annual showcase for
music, dance, storytelling and song. The festival builds on
the legacy of the Edinburgh Folk Festival and involves the
participation of over 30 traditional arts organisations. Its
emphasis is on including all the traditional arts activity taking
place in the city.
The comprehensive events programme provides an
opportunity to listen to traditional fiddle tunes, celebrate
Scottish dialects and oral traditions through Scottish storytelling
and preserve invaluable Celtic traditions.
Contemporary acts such as modern ceilidh
dances complement and enhance the programme.
The festival has a strong community based
element but there is also a burgeoning international dimension.
Acclaimed musicians from Alaska, Austria, China and Scandinavia
travel to the city to perform.
