The British National Party has announced that its annual Red, White and Blue festival will be held near Denby for the third successive year.
Last year the event, held on party member Alan Warner's land off Codnor Denby Lane, attracted protests from anti -fascist campaigners that resulted in 36 arrests.
Derbyshire Police have confirmed that they would object to an alcohol and live music
license for the event, should one be applied for, but organisers have announced this week that they will go ahead with the festival anyway on August 13, 14 and 15.
Alan Warner has shrugged off the concerns of local residents and opposition to the festival.
He said: "I'm not really worried about the protesters and people targeting us, I'm not worried about them.
"There has never been any trouble on the site but what have they done with the people they arrested last year, for violent disorder and throwing things at the police?
"I'm not interested in the local residents, they can please themselves.
"I'm just getting on with my own business.
"We are better off without a license as it comes with rules and regulations from the council.
"There will still be music from the fairground and people can bring their own alcohol."
