Stevenage Day is set to return on Sunday, June 9 with an event that is "bigger and better than ever", according to the borough council.
Hertfordshire's largest free event will be held at King George V playing fields as usual, with an expected attendance of more than 30,000.
This year's theme will be celebrating Pride and Stevenage's LGBTQ+ community.
There will be a dedicated Pride area, complete with a music stage showcasing talented Pride performers.
Attendees can look forward to a range of free, family-friendly activities, a main performance area, rides, food court, bars, and the highly anticipated Rock in the Park segment.
Rock in the Park, supported by The Practice Roomz, promises an electrifying atmosphere with twin stages for music enthusiasts of all ages.
More than 200 stalls will line the park on the day, featuring an array of specialist food vendors, charities, voluntary organizations, and local businesses, providing an opportunity for attendees to support the community and discover new ventures.
