The Fringe is finito.  It's been close to four crazy, crowded weeks - but the world's biggest arts festival has called it a day, and rolled out of Edinburgh for another year.  Yet the Fringe isn't the only show in town!  There's still plenty to catch up on before the fireworks display ends the Festival season on Sunday... and so, if you've got the energy, we've got the details.

International Festival 

The highbrow "official" Edinburgh International Festival starts and ends a week later than the Fringe, so has a full week left of its 2011 schedule.  Highlights with tickets remaining include One Thousand And One Nights, the much-discussed two-part adaptation at the Royal Lyceum; Re - Triptych, a trilogy of contemporary dance pieces inspired by the iconic landmarks of the Far East; and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, one of few concerts and recitals not yet to have sold out.

To find the full list of what's on this week, you can run a search by date on the International Festival's own website.  Check out too our guide to getting tickets for EIF events.

The last of the Fringe

Although the Fringe is generally over, a few venues and events are hanging on for another week.  Live evening music continues all week at the Royal Mile Tavern and WHISKI Bar, while there's nightly folk music at The Oak.  Or you could catch up with some of the rest of the city with a free walking tour, running until Thursday.

If you're seeking one last fix of comedy, look no further than The Stand - the year-round venue which fires up its September programme on Thursday.  And don't forget the Scottish Storytelling Centre, which also has a full week of events as it segues into life beyond the Fringe.

Visual art

It would be a shame to overlook the Festival's programme of visual art, much of which is running well into September.  Much of it's listed in the Fringe programme (search for it here); still more's available as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival.  Look out in particular for David Mach: Precious Light at the City Art Centre, which scored an enthusiastic 5* from our reviewer back at the start of August.

Almost all events are unticketed - either free, or pay-on-door - so a trip to the galleries doesn't need much planning.  Just grab a booklet, go and browse.

Mela

Edinburgh's Mela, celebrating the city's South Asian communities, has moved to a later time-slot this year.  There's a three-day programme of music, dance and street theatre to enjoy - alongside, of course, a wealth of Asian cuisine.  It's all at Leith Links in the north of the city, and pre-booking's advisable for many events.  Find out more on Mela's own website.

The fireworks

And of course, whatever you do this week, keep the evening of Sunday 4 September free for the famous end-of-festival firework display.  Here's our guide on how to see the fireworks - you can get a great view for free.

The Fringe may be over, but the show goes on.  Whatever you're doing this week... we hope you'll enjoy what remains of the Festival.
