From the University of Edinburgh Family Zone, to the DogShow and Greyhound Parade, Performance Area, a local youth music stage, Main Stage with local music artists, Edinburgh College GLOW stage, Shinty Sports Area, stalls selling everything from carboot treasures to handmade gifts, and a range of delicious food vans and outdoor bars. Plus new for 2025, a dedicated Wellbeing Zone. Finally the festival will also be welcoming The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever (dancing to the iconic music video by Kate Bush).
