A national campaign which promotes buying local is set to return to Huntly.
Fiver Fest will take place for a fortnight from Saturday, March 11.
The campaign was introduced by Totally Locally and now runs three times a year to encourage independent businesses to promote £5 offers.
The event is being coordinated locally by Vivien Rae, marketing manager for Experience Huntly.
She said: "This will be the fifth Fiver Fest campaign Huntly has taken part in since 2021.
"The impact of spending local is so important. It leads to more jobs, a better town centre, a stronger economy and, ultimately, makes the area a nicer place to live.
"It is a great opportunity to ensure our local independent businesses get the footfall and support required to help them remain in our town centre.
"We have several new businesses signed up to take part in this Fiver Fest campaign too, which means even more great deals available locally for shoppers.
"Any measures we can take to support local really do have a direct and positive impact on the community."
Funds to support participation in the event were secured by Huntly Business Association from the Clashindarroch wind farm community fund.
Train & Treat, Huntly Chip Shop and Blythswood Care are all among the companies which have already agreed to take part.
Helen Kings, treasurer of Huntly Business Association said: "The Fiver Fest campaign has been well received by the businesses and shoppers in Huntly.
"We hope shoppers will show their support and benefit from the deals on offer."
