Suffolk Day will return this year with a special theme - and the celebrations could coincide with the lifting of final coronavirus restrictions.
The event is always held on the longest day, which this year falls on Monday, June 21. That s also the date the last Covid restrictions could be lifted, if the Government says it is safe to do so.
People are urged to enjoy the day, and weekend before, safely and in line with any restrictions that may still be in force.
This year, the theme for the day is rejoice, revisit, remember - with people urged to enjoy the best of the county that they may have missed during the pandemic.

Today is the first day you can collect tokens in our Cash for Charities campaign - to win a share of £20,000 for your favourite good cause in Suffolk and north Essex.
Many charities have struggled during the coronavirus crisis, as the pandemic has cut off their main sources of fundraising and income.
That, in turn, has had a major impact on services and those most in need in our community, with Age UK Suffolk even being forced to close last year.
