Edinburgh’s Hogmanay (Hogmanay in the Gardens)
Thursday 31st December, 2026
Edinburgh’s Hogmanay is a multi-day New Year festival that draws large domestic and international crowds to ticketed concerts (including the Concert in the Gardens), a street party, torchlight procession and fireworks — a major tourism moment for the city. This gives Airbnb a chance to talk about demand and safety for seasonal short-term stays in Scotland’s capital, host readiness and visitor behaviour around big-ticket events like the Concert in the Gardens in Edinburgh.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment: Hogmanay drives clear demand and safety conversations around short-term lets, host readiness, and visitor behaviour — all areas Airbnb can credibly own with data, safety guidance, booking trends and local partnerships. Could run proactive campaigns (host preparedness, curated stays, responsible tourism) and reactive expert comment on crowding, regulation or incidents.
