　　Each year during the summer months Edinburgh becomes the worlds Festival City. It is the huge range and number of artistic events, performances and exhibitions happening throughout the citywhich makes Edinburgh unforgettable. It makes you feel that there is always something else happening around the corner which you are missing. There is and you are. This is inevitable, part of the joy of the Festival.
