Tasty stalls to open mid-morning
Organisers hope to beat the record-breaking attendance figure for the Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival this weekend.
A host of artisan products are on offer from hotdogs, vegetables and cheese, to sweets, juices and even something a little stronger.
It's the ninth event of its kind on the Island, and last year saw 10,000 people through the gates at the Villa Marina.
This is also the first year where there will be extra exhibits at a special marquee on the colonnade.
You can view the programme here.
The Festival is open from 10am-9pm today, and 10am-5pm on Sunday.
Andrew Lees is Food Business Development Manager at DEFA.
He says people are coming over to Island especially for the festival:
