The Loch Lomond Food and Drink Festival will be returning in September.
The free festival will feature chef demonstrations, cocktail and mocktail masterclasses, and wild food walks.
This year, the festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, September 7 and 8.
Saint Judes in Glasgow will add a new feature this year – cocktail and mocktail masterclasses, with their resident mixologist and a cocktail bar.
Cooking demonstrations will be held each day, hosted by chefs Rohan Wadke (midday) and Niall Murray (2pm).
Wild food and medicine walks, led by Rox Madeira, will also be on both days at 11am, 12.30pm and 3.30pm.
Rox will show festivalgoers a different way to connect with Scotland, learning plant folklore, history of plant use, and current usage during her 45-minute sessions.
The fun 'Shake it 'til you make it' cocktail and mocktail masterclasses will be on both days, featuring a mixology session with the mocktail one open to all aged six and over.
Street food options will be available from Mama Del’s Filipino Food, Continental Catering, and more.
There will also be a full gluten-free selection from Big Daft Cakes.
Drink-related vendors include O’Donnell Moonshine, Necropolis Spirits Rum, and Wild Barn Brewery.
The Sanderson Sisters will be visiting on Saturday to provide entertainment.
Additional entertainment will be provided by Lomond Radio and buskers around the site.
Audrey Calder from Loch Lomond Shores said: "We’re really looking forward to welcoming back our chefs, who always do such an amazing job in engaging with all our foodies and providing exciting recipes for them to go home and try themselves.
"Also, to be welcoming Rox for her Wild Food and Medicine Walks and Saint Judes with their mocktail and cocktail masterclasses, is great as we love bringing new things to the festival for our regulars and offer even more for first-time festivalgoers."
