What’s On in October in Edinburgh?
Botanic Lights at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Autumn is well and truly here, and so are the colder days and the unpredictable autumn weather! But not to worry, there are plenty of exciting events both indoors and outdoors this month, such as the Coffee Festival, Oktoberfest, the Restaurant Festival, the Scottish International Storytelling Festival and Samhuinn Fire Festival. The month culminates in the spookiest holiday of the year, and as there are few cities as mysterious and eerie as Edinburgh can be you’ll struggle to find a better place to celebrate Halloween!
