Events in Edinburgh From 4th May – 10th May 2026
Home · Events in Edinburgh This Week
This week in Edinburgh, events span music, comedy, family activities, and community celebrations. Live performances highlight established acts at Usher Hall and emerging talent in smaller venues across the city. Stand-up comedy is available at multiple venues, from new material nights to shows featuring well-known names.
You can find family-friendly options such as the magic fair at The Gyle Shopping Centre, which offers rides, food, and entertainment. A speed dating event brings people together at Manahatta, while a theatrical music show combines vocals and stagecraft. The Edinburgh Tartan Parade runs along the Royal Mile, celebrating Scottish heritage. Charity events include a garden opening in Moray Place and Bank Gardens, and music fans can catch a debut Scottish show by German death metal band Destillat.
Use Lothian Buses or Edinburgh Trams to avoid city centre congestion. The Water of Leith Walkway offers a scenic route to venues, and Edinburgh Waverley railway station is a key hub. Parking is limited in the Old Town, and Murrayfield Stadium may face traffic during matches. Check listings for timings and booking details. You can find green space and parks near Stockbridge and live music in Leith, just outside the city.
