All 12 parishes will be taking part in this year's event
Eurovision pop star Sam Ryder will be the headline act at this year's Jersey Battle of Flowers.
Sam and his band will perform a full length concert as the finale to the event on 9-11 August.
It began in 1902 and is known for its floral floats and dancers that parade along Victoria Avenue.
Battle of Flowers organisers said all 12 Jersey parishes would take part in this summer's parades.
Event chairman, Russell Labey, said: "Having all 12 parishes participate is a long-held ambition and with a little help and support for our returning parishes from Battle Command, it looks like we've made it.
"Now everyone will have a float to get behind and cheer for on the day, in what will be the biggest parade in recent memory."
The event will be held on a Friday and Saturday, after the dates were moved to a weekend in 2023.
