<div><strong>An annual August celebration by and for people of colour in Edinburgh!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Created by the comedian Sophie Duker in 2024 as a direct response to the far right and anti-immigration riots in the UK, Vitamin P.O.C. is a collective committed to creating a joyful, inclusive space and resources for any people of colour 18+ who are in, live in or plan to pass through Edinburgh during the August festival season. Because of the seasonal, volunteer-led nature of our group, we are entirely dependent on yearly fundraising for our in-person Edinburgh event. Tuesday 11 August 2026 will see the third official outing of this once-a-year tradition.
