Scarborough Fair will be a year-round programme of festivals and events, the council says.
The famous Scarborough Fair, last held in the 18th Century, is to return, the resort's council has confirmed.
Events proposed for the reimagined fair include a Winter Lights festival, International Street Arts Festival, an Affordable Art Trail and a Music and Action Sports Festival. "The Scarborough Fair will celebrate all that our beautiful region has to offer - the people, food, sport, music, art and so much more - in all its exciting and vibrant colours.Image caption,Established under Royal Charter in 1253, the original Scarborough Fair drew merchants from all over the world to sell to hundreds of visitors each August and September.
It was celebrated in an old English ballad and came to the attention of Simon and Garfunkel who recorded a version for their 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
