Lancaster's popular Italian festival is set to return to the city centre with two days of free events.
This year's Festa Italia will take place on Saturday May 24 and Sunday May 25 in Market Square.
There will be live music - 'Serenading In The Square' - on the Saturday from 7.30pm, with singers Leigh Rhianon Coggins, Stevie Kay, Voce, and making their debut, The Billionaire Trio.
Then on the Sunday there will be music, dancing from The Dance Hub, street food, displays of supercars and motorcycles, street acts and more across the city.
Festa Italia began in 2018 and was the brainchild of Lancaster businessmen Bruno Buccelli and Paul Cusimano.
They wanted to "bring something different to Lancaster" bringing together Italian food and drink, vehicles, music and fashion.
Bunting with the colours of the Italian flag - Il Tricolore - has gone up around Lancaster city centre ahead of the festival.
"As the clock ticks down, the first signs have gone up, always bight, vibrant and symbolic," said a post on the Lancaster Festa Italia Facebook page.
"Festa will gently serenade you, fuelling the excitement and anticipation on the Saturday night (24th) ahead of the roar of the most beautifully engineered vehicles, both two and four wheeled, fantastic food and drink, entertainment which includes Leigh Rhianon Coggins, Stevie Kay, Voce, and making their debut, The Billionaire Trio."
The festival awon best Visitor Attraction at The Best of the Bay awards in 2023.
