More than 50 acts took to the stage at four different venues from Friday to Sunday.
It was the first time the festival has been hosted in October, after it was moved for cooler spring weather, instead of the hot summer in February.
Organiser Don Calvert said the total number of fans who attended is still to be determined, but the crowd had been bigger than he anticipated. “We had very healthy pre-registrations from the music lovers,” he said.
“We had beyond our expectations for people buying tickets on the weekend itself.
“We are proud of the bands we had – there were 55 bands playing top quality music for fans.”
