Edinburgh Int'l Jazz & Blues Festival

A great parade kicks off 10-days of live music (mid-Jul)

A surprising amount of local talent surfaces during the Edinburgh International Jazz & Blues Festival, which sees aficionados from around the world gather in venues across the city.

But the whole event is perhaps best known for its free Mardi Gras-style parade along the Grassmarket on the opening Saturday; well worth attending whatever your musical taste.

Though only one of a dozen venues used, this entry's map marker has been placed at the Jazz Bar – Edinburgh's prime year-round jazz venue.

Summer: June, July & August
