Morris dancers, stilt walkers and a parade are among the traditional events planned to celebrate St George's Day in a town in Leicestershire.
Bunting has been hung across Hinckley town centre for the event on Saturday.
The programme includes performances by Tom the Tale Teller, the Bakanalia Morris dancers, a stilt-walking St George and dragon and a new play, Two Women Meet in Heaven, which dramatises a meeting in the afterlife of Hinckley writers Charlotte Brame and Elizabeth Coxhead.
Motorists have been warned to expect road closures when the scout parade leaves St Mary's playground at 13:15 BST and heads to St Peter's RC Church.
Cat Stilling, events coordinator for Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, said: "The St George's Day celebrations are a hugely popular event each year.
"The celebrations offer something for all ages to experience while enjoying the town's shops and bustling market stalls.
"There is plenty for the kids to do, whatever their interests, but the adults will be kept occupied, too."
