WELCOME TO THE 2026 EDINBURGH CANAL FESTIVAL – A FREE COMMUNITY FESTIVAL OPEN TO ALL
Fountainbridge Canalside Community Trust are pleased to be organising The Edinburgh Canal Festival – a celebration of the Union Canal and canalside community.
This year, the Festival is a little more compact, with three lively zones instead of five, bringing everything closer together along the canal.
Come and explore the canal from Lochrin Basin to Fountainbridge Green - take part along the way in free activities, enjoy great food, and live music performances.
Visitors will have access to information about the organisations running charity and social enterprise stalls, their missions, and goals, and how to get involved or support their work.
We’re also expanding the celebrations with additional events, including Picnic in the Park ( Harrison Park ) on 25th July and the Raft Race on 22nd August, as part of our wider Festival programme this summer.
------
A full programme and map will be available on our website soon - www.edinburghcanalfestival.org.uk– and there will be regular updates on social media channels - https://www.facebook.com/EdinburghCanalFest and https://www.instagram.com/fcctedinburgh
-----
As your local Community Development Trust, our aim to is to make the local area a better place to live, work, do business and visit. Fountainbridge Canalside Community Trust, together with the non-profit organizations, charities and local businesses featured, invites everyone to join in on this uplifting celebration of community and canalside. So come on down, enjoy the day and show your support.
