Peterhead Seafood Festival will return on Saturday.

Organisers have promised to deliver the “wow factor” for visitors with a “feast of food and drink”.

More than 80 stands will be set up with activities, music, entertainment and crafts as well as the main attraction – fish.

Broad Street will be the location of the fish market where fresh, local seafood will be available along with demonstrations of net making, fish filleting and cookery featuring local chefs.

Model boats will also be on show to highlight the rich local fishing heritage.

Leslie Forsyth, manager for Redicover Peterhead which hosts the event, said: “This year’s festival will be bigger and better than before.

“Celebrating fish and fishing, supporting local businesses, and reminding people what a great place Peterhead is to visit and do business.

“The Seafood Festival has the potential to become a major annual event in the Peterhead calendar, putting the town firmly on the map.

“What a great way to say that Peterhead is open for business.”

Local acts will also be performing throughout the day at Drummers Corner.

Marischal Street, Queen Street, Broad Street and Chapel street will also be busy with stalls including a pop-up Zanres restaurant, the emergency services and a craft tent.

Event sponsors Peterhead Port Authority’s chief executive Simon Brebner will be officially opening the festival at 10am on Saturday.

Rediscover Peterhead chairman John Pascoe said: “We hope this will be a memorable day for all and will become a must attend for all members of the family and will promote not just seafood, but the important role that Peterhead plays within the fishing sector.”
