The first and most obvious (for Europeans, at least) is Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the single biggest event for performing arts in the world (last year there were a whopping 50,266 performances of 3,269 shows in 294 venues.)
The official programme is available online here.
Running as one of the shows but with a separate organisation is Edinburgh Book Festival – my favourite and an occasion not to miss if you’re in the area.
The dates for this exhibition are 12-28 August. Here the link to download 2017 programme.
Finally, Worldcon – the world annual convention of SF is this year in Helsinki – which is a short hop from Edinburgh, giving a good occasion to combine all these in one trip. The official name is Worldcon 75, and it runs on 9-13 August 2017.

And see you around!
