Spectacular Beltane Fire Festival
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Cultural festivals
What it is
Community performers light large fires on Calton Hill in Edinburgh in a fire spectacle that welcomes the summer.
Dates
No dates have been published yet. These are expected from the pattern of past years.
How we estimated this: No 2027 dates were found on the official site. Official pages for the 2025 and 2026 editions both place the festival on 30 April on Calton Hill, so 30 April 2027 is an inference from that pattern, not an announcement.

How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against beltane.org. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
Beltane Fire Society's official site confirms the organization is active and that the festival took place on Calton Hill on 30 April 2026, and its 2025 page gives 30 April as well; no 2027 date is announced, so the 2027-04-30 entry is an expected date based on that pattern. Search budget was overrun by one search (4 used against 3), and a 2027 search result was not reviewed closely.
