Big Prom on the Promenade
“Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls! Come and get your Glad Rags and Dancing Shoes on for a free outdoor afternoon Tea Dance to be remembered.”
Since 1962, the incredible 20 piece Leith Community Concert Band hadn’t serenaded the public along Portobello Promenade. We thought it was time to bring this magic it back, and for one afternoon, invite hundreds of people – of all ages – to dance the afternoon away with the sea as their backdrop.
“Tea ‘on the house’ for those dressed to impress”.
“Free dance class for any unsure feet”.
“Cakes, refreshments and treats”.
Big Prom on the Promenade was commissioned by Big Things on the Beach for the Edinburgh International Art Festival.
