It's the annual Somerset Day, which aims to celebrate the county.

Somerset flags will be flown and there's events and activities planned.

It's on May the 11th to coincide with Alfred the Great - the King of Wessex - beating the Viking invaders in 878.

The date was chosen after a public vote a few years ago.
