Leith Festival

The Leith Festival is an arts festival held in Leith, Scotland and takes place mainly in the EH6 and EH7 postcodes of Edinburgh which cover the old burgh of Leith. It is a community based festival that takes place annually. It is run by the Leith Festival Association which is a Ltd Company and a recognised Scottish Charity. It had been previously run by Leith Festival Club. There are two other festivals in the world with Leith in their title.

==Background==

The current version of the Leith Festival started in the late 1980s.〔 It takes place in June each year and includes Leith Festival Gala Day which started in 1907 as the Leith Gala. ''The Scotsman'' has reported that a precursor to the current day festival was established 100 years before the 2007 event. Leith Gala and Leith Pageant were started in order to raise money to pay for treatment at Leith Hospital before the days on the National Health Service. It continues with the role of fund raising with the parade and Gala day events, fun fair and stalls on Leith Links. There have been a number of festivals of various kinds held in Leith from The Edinburgh Festival to the 1951 Festival of Britain and other local festivals. In the late 1960s an Art festival was set up as a community Festival. Over time the Gala expanded to become a community arts event being run continuously in its present form since the late eighties. Since 2008 like many other festivals, such as the Belfast Festival at Queen's, it has suffered from the prevailing economic climate losing sponsorship and funding. Since 2011 funding has been secured from the city council.〔
