Edinburgh Cocktail Week will make its return in October, and it will be bigger than before.

Wristband holders will be able to enjoy £5 ($6.10) signature cocktails at 120 of Edinburgh’s bars, speakeasies and pubs.
“It’s important that we continue to develop our festival year on year and continue to offer our visitors a memorable and unique visit at Edinburgh Cocktail Week,” Gary Anderson, managing director of Edinburgh Cocktail Week, said, according to The Scotsman. “With music such a popular element of the Cocktail Village, we’re excited to welcome headline acts to the Music Stage this year that we’re sure will get everyone dancing and singing along.”
