Video - Children's Festival's Noel Jordan

As Edinburgh's Festivals celebrate the 70th anniversary of the festival city, we thought it would be great to hear from the people who put these incredible events together - the festival directors and producers. 

In our latest video, here's Noel Jordan, Festival Director of the Edinburgh International Children's Festival (27 May - 4 June 2017), telling us all about the Festival, why festivals are important, and what it's like to work with Edinburgh's other festivals.

...they're a unique time in a very busy calendar in all of our lives to stop, reflect, come together and celebrate as a community the unique aspects of what it is to be human... we congregate and jointly celebrate a very special time of the year...

Science Festival | Military Tattoo | Jazz & Blues Festival | Art Festival | Storytelling Festival | International Festival | Fringe | Children's Festival | Book Festival | Film Festival | Edinburgh's Hogmanay
