The date has been announced for the return of the UK's only free beach festival.
The popular First Light Festival will hit Lowestoft's south beach in June this year.
After a major funding agreement has been sealed to secure the long-term future of the free multi arts festival, East Suffolk Council agreed to fund First Light Festival for the next three years last November.
More than 40,000 people had flocked to Lowestoft's south beach and seafront during a record turnout for last year's festival.
Organised by First Light CIC, the festival was first staged in 2019.
And calling on people to "save the date", organisers said: "First Light Festival returns on June 20 and 21 2026 for another midsummer celebration on Lowestoft’s golden sands.
"What better way to welcome the actual summer solstice than with a weekend of music, dance, art, talks, wellbeing sessions and more...
"See you on the beach."
The organisers said that this year’s opening parade is being inspired by “13 moons" in celebrating the rare magic of 2026 – a year with 13 full moons.
The journey began at the weekend with the wolf moon, the first full moon of the year.
