It was party time in Kilbarchan at the weekend as thousands of people turned out for the annual Lilias Day celebrations.
A colourful parade with floats, charity stalls and entertainment for all the family was on offer.
There was music from the Kilbarchan and Houston Pipe Bands, as well as the Lochwinnoch Samba Band.
Among the other highlights of Saturday's event were a battle re-enactment, a tug-of-war tournament, bouncy castles, pony rides and a dog show.
And it was a special day for Amy Sharp and Skye Stockton, who both took on the role of Miss Lilias to make up for the event being cancelled twice during the Covid pandemic.
Graeme Stockton, joint-chair of the Lilias Day committee, described the event as "one of the busiest" in years.
He told The Gazette: "We were delighted at the turnout and all the businesses and charities with stalls did very well.
"I would say there were around 4,000 people at the event and we had absolutely tremendous weather on Saturday.
"We'd like to thank everybody who decorated their house and put scarecrows out on display, as well as the participants and helpers at the parade."
Lilias Day dates back to 1718 and is the main event in the village's social calendar.
Graeme added: "Lilias Day raises tens of thousands of pounds for local charities and helps support our local organisations, such as our pipe band, Scouts and Guides.
"One of the greatest things somebody told me was that Lilias Day is one of the best times of the year, as all their kids come home from university for the day because they know that Kilbarchan will be buzzing."
