Sizzling temperatures are forecast for four days of live music and celebration in Morecambe.
Morecambe Music Festival will return from Thursday to Sunday, when an array of performers and glorious sunshine are due to bring a party atmosphere to the town.
A wide range of musicians and singers will appear across 35 venues in Morecambe town centre and beyond.
Residents and visitors alike will gather to soak up the sun, the atmosphere and the sounds of the popular event, which was founded in 2017.
"This weekend is something special," said Tom Woods, one of the musicians performing at the festival.
"It's a community thing and it brings everyone together."

As main organiser of the festival, Stuart said he always has one eye on the weather!
"We were blessed for the first five years, it was red hot every single year," he said.
"The past few years it's been patchy.
"But I woke up on Monday morning this week, looked at the forecast, and it's unbelievable.
"We are looking at not a cloud in the sky, electric blue sky, and 28 or 29 degrees."
The organising team has put out a message to festival-goers, to enjoy the event but also to look after themselves in the sun.
"This will be the hottest Morecambe Music Festival on record with temperatures forecast to hit 30c on Saturday and Sunday.
"So please, if you are drinking outside in many of the beer gardens you may frequent, or drinking throughout the day and night, consider the effects of the sun and heat on your hydration.
"It’s OK to swap a pint or a glass of wine for a water or soft drink at various points. Look out for the people you're socialising with for any signs o of dehydration and act accordingly.
"We want everyone to have the most amazing time over the four days, listen and watch the talent on display, dance your socks off, make new friends along the way and make many special memories.
"But we essentially want EVERYONE to return home safely at the end of each day!"
Every one of the venues at Morecambe Music Festival has free access.
The event kicks off with a launch night at The Royal Bar and Shaker on the Promenade tonight (July 10) from 7pm, featuring an Oasis tribute.
There will also be music at four other venues on Thursday - Harry's Bar, the Palatine, the Pier and the Bull.
Then more venues join the fun on Friday.
One of the highlights will be a headline performance by Toploader, famed for their 90s hit 'Dancing in the Moonlight'.
