Events for Highland Pride 2020 – formerly known as Proud Ness – will take place in Bught Park, Inverness on Sunday, July 19.
Hundreds of supporters flocked to the city for last year's event.
Next summer’s Highland Pride will take place the day after the Inverness Highland Games and will feature a march through Inverness city centre followed by speeches, music and other activities including the Ruff Ness Dog Sho and Inverness Shinty Sixes as well as a Highland Pride Village and Craft Fair.
Events manager and Highland LGBT Forum committee member Jessica Taylor said: “We are absolutely delighted to have the support to host our summer Pride event during the Highland Games weekend in 2020.
"We had this amazing opportunity in 2019 resulting in the biggest parade and one of the largest Pride events in Scotland topping both Edinburgh and Glasgow numbers with over 10,000 people in attendance from all over the Highlands and Islands, Moray and further afield.
"Plans are already under way to deliver another successful day where everyone can get involved and help us celebrate and support our local LGBT+ community with our own unique blend of Highland pride.”
Inverness events and festivals working group chair, councillor Graham Ross, said: “The Inverness Highland Games Weekend is one of the highlights of the summer here in Inverness and we are delighted to support the members of the Highland LGBT Forum, led by Highland Pride Events Manager Jessica Taylor, as they work with numerous community groups to stage an event we can all be proud of.”
