The Scottish Government has put an additional £2.1m towards the Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Edinburgh International Film Festival.
The extra funding is available through the Platform for Creative Excellence (PLACE) Resilience Fund and will support events marking the festivals’ 75th anniversary.
Funded programmes include Edinburgh International Festival’s opening and closing events, and a free concert by the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra, and Edinburgh Fringe’s Made In Scotland event, showcasing 27 Scottish artists, companies and ensembles.
The Scottish Government has invested more than £14m in the three festivals since the start of the pandemic.
Edinburgh Festivals Director Julia Armour said the financial support is “crucial not only to our ongoing recovery but also to our continuing ambition to bring increased opportunities to artists and audiences throughout the country, while also showcasing Scotland as a contemporary, creative, outward-looking nation”.
