"Come along and join in this community event and enjoy display of vintage cars, tractors and machines, bouncing castles, festival games, activities for children and adults, and delicious food and snacks!" an organiser said.
The festival will feature various stalls raising funds for local community organisations. In April, a fundraiser in aid of the festival was held in The Castletown Inn.
A table quiz was held with over 19 tables taking part. The two winning teams kindly donated their prize money back to the fundraiser.
