Under 18's will be able to dance, drink 'mocktails' and take part in a 'silent' disco at the first-ever young people's CI Pride after-party.
The Channel Islands Pride Celebration will be staged in Guernsey for the third time on Saturday 12 September.
Organisers have vowed to make the event, which is likely to be one of the only in-person Pride celebrations in the UK this year, "the biggest coming out party the islands have ever seen."
As part of that, an after-party aimed specifically at under 18's has been arranged to provide a fun new addition to the schedule.
"Pride events are fundamentally focused on community and welcome visitors of all ages to the fun - and nobody wants the buzz to end too early," said Liberate. "So, for the 1st time, #CIPride2020 will be opening the doors to an Under-18's After Party!"

"Between 21:00 to 23:00 on Saturday 12 September, the Market Buildings will be transformed into a very unique environment filled with ‘silent’ music and dancing for LGBTQ+ young people and their friends to party!
"The Streat will be offering mocktails at a bar in the venue, and volunteers from the Youth Commission will be there to keep everyone safe and sound so that party-goers can let loose in confidence."
Tickets for the event from £2.50 plus a booking fee and can be purchased from the CI Pride website, or £5 on the door. Liberate will also be offering these tickets at £2.50 at their stall on 22 August at the Guernsey Together celebrations held in Saumarez Park.

The Youth Commission's LGBTQ lead, Ellie Jones said there is a chance for young people to help with the upcoming event.
"If any young people in Guernsey would like to get involved with Pride this year, please pop along to our next LGBTQ+ Youth Network meet up at our head office by the Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday 1 September 2020 at 4pm."
