The 2014 Beaufort Street Festival reportedly attracted 160,000 people, making it the biggest festival yet.
Whilst some found the numbers (and queues) overwhelming, there was a lot of praise for organisers who managed the masses and helped them to enjoy the free day of fun and festivities, helped by slightly cooler weather than in previous years.
If you missed it or want to see the highlights again, here’s some links and pics I’ve put together for you:
