Outer Field
Over 60 craft, food, retail and charity stalls, and exhibits, including the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands project Immersive VR Pod.
The outer fields also host the Highland Heritage Tent, featuring clans, historic archives, family history, heritage rangers and the Inverness Outlanders.
There will be live music throughout the afternoon, alongside a licensed bar and the Inverness Highland Food and Drink Trail.
With funfair rides, inflatables and a mini Highland Games to get involved in, there is no shortage of activities for the younger members of the family either.
