Edinburgh’s Christmas opens today, Friday, with lots of festive family fun on offer.
Get ready for bright lights, Christmas tunes and mulled wine as the festive season kicks off. All the fun takes place in the city centre, as Edinburgh’s Christmas transforms the city into a winter wonderland experience.
In East Princes Street Gardens, and running until Saturday 4 January 2025, the market will be filled to the brim with the finest local and international producers to find that perfect Christmas gift.
East Princes Street Gardens also has the famous 80m Star Flyer, LNER Big Wheel and more daring fairground rides.
The city is transformed into a festive haven, with Traditional Christmas Markets, funfair rides, live outdoor events, and delicious food and drink.
The funfair is also open in West Princes Street Gardens with some thrilling rides, fairground games, food and beverages, lights and illumination events every evening (tickets required).
From next week there will be even more on offer as the staged opening process unfolds.
