“Even with a bit of rain early on, the turnout was incredible, and the atmosphere throughout the day was brilliant. Events like this are all about bringing people together, supporting our local businesses, and creating memorable experiences for residents and visitors alike.
“A huge thank you goes to everyone who took part, attended, and supported the event, as well as our BID members who generously sponsored each of the categories.”
