Take the young folk to Aberdeen this summer

Celebrating the best youth talent from all over the world, the Aberdeen International Youth Festival brings Aberdeen to life with 10 days of dazzling entertainment, music, theatre and dance, all kicking off with a colourful grand parade through the city centre on 30 July.

Events take place throughout the northeast with something for everyone, from orchestral concerts to steel drums, song recitals and massed choirs to traditional music, ballet to African dance and drumming, opera and special events for children.

With over a week of activities and events, self-catering is the obvious choice for accommodation. Check out EmbraceScotland's Aberdeen listings, or look in the Availability pages for offers.
