Like the Christmas Market, the Gastro Festival will have a range of local and international food producers and craft traders.
Entertainment will range from circus workshops, farm animals, games and family entertainment, to comedy acts and live music.
YO1 Radio will host the Main Stage, which will have local performers and a Taylor Swift tribute on Saturday, as well as a Freddie Mercury and Queen tribute headlining the Sunday.
There will be a fire performance on both evenings, the event organisers also announced that they will be bringing a 200ft zip line along for thrill-seekers.
