Thousands of visitors are expected to attend the return of the Arts Fresco street theatre event on Sunday.
The colourful spectacular will again tie up with the popular Lubenham Scarecrow weekend with people attending both events.
Organisers of Arts Fresco say about 10,000 people are likely to fill the centre of Market Harborough for the day-long free event.
It is being funded by local firms and a grant of £15,000 from the Arts Council.
The money is on top of a grant of £10,000 from Harborough clothing company Joules.
Arts Fresco has been relaunched after it was suspended two years ago over funding issues.
A fresh committee has taken over the event and is returning it to its former format in the town centre.
Organisers of Lubenham's 14th scarecrow weekend say the event in the village near Market Harborough will again attract thousands of visitors from across the Midlands.
One of the organisers Trish Woods said: "Again there will be
dozens of scarecrows on display around the village - come and vote for your favourite.
"There will be tractor-drawn trailer rides round the village, fairground rides, quad bikes, a bouncy castle, and traditional games among the attractions."
The event also raises vital funds for village groups, organisations and charities.
