Edinburgh People's Festival
This festival is inspired by the original aims
of the Edinburgh International Festival, namely, a celebration of
the arts 'for the people, by the people'.
The festival aims to celebrate the work of the
original Edinburgh People's Festival (1951-54) and salute the
contribution made by Councillor Jack Kane and the lately departed
Hamish Henderson.
The festival contains an eclectic programme of
cabaret, music, theatre and comedy.
