Edinburgh Art Festival runs from the 2nd of August until the 2nd of September and there are LOADS of exhibitions and events happening - many of which are free of charge. A lot of the events and exhibitions overlap each other so you should be able to fit a lot in on a single visit.
The one that I'm most interested in seeing is Dieter Roth at The Fruitmarket Gallery - The Fruitmarket is one of my favourite galleries in the UK, and I think its a great venue in terms of the versatile space that they have available and the clean, simple way that they present their shows. The Lucy Skaer exhibition in 2008 was phenomenal and I had to go see it several times. The scale of her work is breathtaking and the research behind it is fascinating. I don't know much about Roth, but if his work has been selected by the gallery then I reckon it's worth a visit.
I'm also interested in seeing the 'Lying and Liars' installation at Collective and 'Cheer Up! It's not the end of the world...' at Edinburgh Printmakers.
There are over 30 venues involved in the festival and the programme seems really diverse. More info below-
