Aim
Help us raise funds to bring Palestinian artists to Edinburgh for Fringe 2027!
We need your support to bring back 'Welcome to the Fringe Palestine'
Welcome to the Fringe Palestine is an initiative where Palestinian artists are supported to present performance, literature and music as part of the biggest arts festival in the world.
Your support will help us to bring back and expand our festival as part of the 80th Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2027. This is the first step in our fundraising plan and anything you can give will go directly towards the artists fees & transport costs.
Next year we hope to deliver an eight day festival over two weeks in the heart of the Fringe, include repeat performances and another programme of live performance that celebrates Palestinian art and culture with freedom and without censorship. Last year we issued 1600 tickets to 20 events across our 4-day festival featuring over 25 artists, authors & musicians from Palestine.
Donations will allow us to bring Palestinian artists to Edinburgh to be seen and heard by audiences in Scotland.
“This festival declares itself to be a cultural bridge, whose values are freedom of expression, creativity and resilience, and all were certainly in evidence during its first day.” ★★★★ The Scotsman
“This was a deftly handled celebration of the power of art to foster hope, connection and understanding.” The List
Your support will help us bring the festival back and celebrate Palestinian arts & culture in Edinburgh in 2027.
