A boutique family friendly festival aims to highlight little known Scottish musical talent as well as quality local food and drink.
Demijohn's music festival on the farm, Glenlair Feastival, will take place on Saturday, August 16.
The musical line-up will include artists such as The Aberlady Sessions and Pedro and the Pirates, with additional performances from a number of emerging Dumfries & Galloway young musicians sponsored by Up Yer Airts.
Demijohn's flagship store at Glenlair Steading will be open for tastings of their unique range of handmade, sustainable food and drink.
And hungry festival goers will be able to enjoy a selection of other local artisan food producers such as Earth's Crust Bakery from Castle Douglas and Swally and Scran from Kirkcudbright as well as drinks from the Demijohn Cocktail Bar.
Demijohn owner, Angus Ferguson, said: 'As we celebrate 21 years of Demijohn this year, our festival theme has to be forever young.
'Our aim is to bring visitors from all over the World to enjoy Galloway and our small festival helps us do that.
'Thanks go to both David Hope-Jones, South of Scotland Destination Alliance CEO, and Simon Hart, D&G Arts Festival director, for their support and continued efforts to help us promote our region.
'I believe with a passion that combining great music with some delicious local food and drink provides another reason for people to visit south west Scotland.'
