Are you ready to make waves? The fun-filled Edinburgh Canal Festival is back and its bigger than ever.
Taking place at Lochrin Basin, Edinburgh Quay, next month on Saturday 15 June between 12-4:30pm, the festival has something for all the family.
The festival will see people dusting off their wetsuits with the chance to get in the water during canoe taster sessions or stay dry on a boat trip down the canal.
And the infamous raft race will return, in which teams will show off their homemade floating masterpieces in an exciting race for first place - who will be victorious?
Last year there were prizes for the "Daftest Raft" - previously won by a stag party in a bridal car, a hamster wheel and a silver-maned sheriff's horse - and "Most Recyclable Craft".
For the kids, there will be pony rides, face painting and glitter tattoos, a bouncy castle and even a mini zoo popping up on the day where youngsters can get up close to the animals.
As well as all this, there will be music, stalls and some delicious food vendors there, including Nelsons Ice Cream and Harajuku Kitchen.
