Wording of the question, semantically and pedantically is inaccurate to the answer given. Edinburgh has a number of such celebrations. The most famous is now The Fringe and people rarely distinguish that from the original Edinburgh International Festival, though both are separate organisational entities.
In August visitors in Edinburgh for "The Festival" may be asked which one, as, besides EIF and The Finge, there is also the annual Book Festival. Some visitors will find events from all 3 festivals to feed their creative souls for the whole year after. A real arts culture smorgasbord feast.
The International Film Festival and the Jazz Festival occur annually here also, though not in August.
