Welcome to the Fringe Palestine is a festival bringing Palestinian art to the Edinburgh Fringe. We want to platform their voices and celebrate Palestinian art and culture, with freedom and without censorship.

We are an independent group of Scottish based writers, dancers, theatre-makers, publishers and producers who have worked regularly in Palestine and the wider Middle East over many decades.

We have gained enormously from this cultural exchange and we think Scotland and Scottish audiences have benefited from it too. Now is the time to reciprocate, however we can.

We embrace the lessons in hospitality, culture and liberation that we have learnt from our Palestinian friends and colleagues and want to bring that spirit to the Festival. And we want you to come and share in their work. There will be art and politics, as well as laughter, music, food, drink, stories, jokes and conversation.
