"It's a real pleasure to invite local residents to our Burntwood Wakes celebration.
"It's a free community event that has a long history and yet something new and different every year.
"It's a great time to celebrate our town and the arrival of the summer holidays."
Cllr Di Evans, chair of the town council's community and partnerships committee, said:
"Burntwood Town Council always aims to ensure this free event can be enjoyed by all ages, so we provide a wide range of events and activities to suit all tastes.
"These include stage shows such as the Burntwood Community Choir and Young Garrick Burntwood through our partnership work with Lichfield Garrick, a brass band and other musical delights.
"There will also be market stalls, food vendors, fairground rides, a dog show, a military display and numerous community groups involved.
"It promises to be a fantastic occasion for Burntwood."
