International Partners

Bring the world to the Edinburgh International Festival

Every August, the Edinburgh International Festival invites thousands of artists from over 40 countries to present the highest quality of art. Through this international showcase, we celebrate the power of culture to create connection and foster mutual understanding.

We work closely with the diplomatic community and cultural institutes to support the presentation of international artists and promote cultural exchange. From championing individual performances to curating country-wide celebrations through our Focus On series, you can share your nations stories, and creativity, with a global audience.

These collaborations create meaningful opportunities for artistic development, cultural diplomacy, and international visibility.
