Annual festival which runs the gamut of jazz persuasions from more traditional Dixie and ragtime bands to up-and-coming stars, from big band concerts to pub jams.

There are a number of free events each year, including Mardi Gras in the Grassmarket, where the pubs spill out onto the pavement, and Jazz on a Summer's Day at the Ross Bandstand in West Princes Street Gardens.
