Edinburgh’s Wildest Night: Beltane Fire Fest

Ever seen a May Queen walk through fire? Edinburgh’s Beltane Fire Festival is like a trippy, live-action Celtic fairytale—think drummers, fire dancers, and wild costumes swirling around Calton Hill all night. The whole city gets swept up in ancient traditions, with 6,000 people joining the chaos this year. You’ll probably get lost (everyone does), but that’s half the fun. Bonus: the theme was ‘rewilding’ and there were giant fox heads leading the parade. Seriously, add this to your bucket list! #BeltaneFireFestival #Edinburgh #CelticTradition #TravelGoals #FestivalVibes #Culture
