Edinburgh Hogmanay
29 December 2008 - 1 January 2009
There's nowhere better to be at New Year's Eve than Scotland's Capital. Edinburgh's Hogmanay brings Edinburgh's streets alive with non-stop entertainment and enjoyment.
Major international artists will perform on four stages as part of the Royal Bank Street Party on Saturday 31 December. The party's 100,000 revellers are guaranteed a sizzling line-up (which in 2007/08 included Kasabian, Idlewild and Calvin Harris).
In 2005 the Night Afore International on 30 December saw the largest celebration of Caledonian and Catalonian culture ever experienced in Scotland, featuring a 150 strong human tower, 250 Catalan street theatre performers and a riotous Catalan Parade.
Elsewhere the Hogmanay programme includes firm favourites such as the spectacular torchlight procession on the 29th December and the One o’ Clock Run on New Year’s Day.
