After more than three years since the last event, there are plans to hold a Pride march in Inverness this summer.
Organisers say subject to license approval, they'll walk through the city centre before heading to the Northern Meeting Park for speeches.
The last summer pride event of this scale took place in July 2019, when nearly 10,000 people took to the streets of the Highland capital.
Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought plans to hold the event to a halt.
A crowdfunder has been set up to help ensure it can be free of charge.
A statement on Highland Pride's social media channels said: "After three very long years we’re delighted to announce plans for the return of our summer pride event in Inverness on Saturday 22 July 2023 with funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.
"The event, which is subject to license approval, will include a proposed march through the streets of Inverness to the Northern Meeting Park for speeches, music, food, stalls and more.
"We’d love to see our LGBT+ community and allies across the Highlands and Islands, and Moray come together to celebrate with us."
