A Harrogate music event will return to the town this autumn to support the town's hospitality sector in the lull between summer and Christmas.
The Harrogate Music Weekender will take place from October 10 to 12.
The three-day event, organised by Harrogate Business Improvement District, will see numerous venues hosting music acts.
The organisation is encouraging venues to get involved this year.
Last year’s weekender included a Taylor Swift tribute, an oompah Band, open mic nights and DJ sets.
More than 20 venues hosted events, and the BID aims to exceed that figure this time.
Any venues wishing to be involved must be located within the BID area, which can be viewed on the organisation’s website.
Match funding grants may also be available from the BID to support venues.
Bethany Allen, operations and projects executive at Harrogate BID, said:
The Harrogate Music Weekender is an initiative we created to encourage people into town at a typically quieter time of year for the hospitality sector, through a series of live music events.
We always receive very positive feedback from our night-time economy around the campaign, so we can’t wait to deliver it once again later this year.
It’s a top opportunity to promote your venue to a wider audience, so be sure to get involved!
To get involved, email the BID at info@harrogatebid.co.uk
Further details, including the full line-up and headline event, will be released by the BID over the coming weeks.
