A town is preparing to host its "biggest and boldest" Pride celebration yet, according to organisers.
Beverley Pride is returning for its third year on 16 August, with the event moving to a new location at Flemingate.
The main festivities begin at midday and will run until 18:00 BST, followed by an afterparty at Firepit on Chantry Lane.
Chair of Beverley Pride, Daniel Rothery, said: "Having the event so visibly placed in the centre of Beverley is a huge step forward in showing that Pride belongs to everyone in our community."
The free event will start at 11:00 BST at Market Cross with a performance by the Hull NHS Choir before the celebration moves to Flemingate.
Live performances will feature singer Stevie Mould, dancer Roxie Royale, and musician Kaeya.
Throughout the day there will be community stalls, workshops, food and cake vendors, and a dedicated family area with arts and crafts.
A spokesperson for Beverley Pride said: "2025 is shaping up to be its biggest and boldest celebration yet."
Mr Rothery added: "We're especially proud that our daytime event remains so family-friendly and welcoming to all, with something for every age and background to enjoy."
Those planning to attend can find more details about performances on the Beverley Pride website.
