The performances by the highly acclaimed Steel Quake were among the highlights of an event which drew a crowd of more than 1000.
And, for once, the weather played along with sweltering temperatures creating a real carnival atmosphere.
Raymond Wood, chairman of the festival committee, said: "It was a great day and I've already had excellent feedback from all the stallholders and entertainers who took part.
"It gives us some positive ideas to work on for next year which will be our 10th event when we're hoping to make it extra special."
Entertainment included music from folk to jazz and all the way through to heavy rock. Morris dancers, Punch and Judy and line dancers provided more street entertainment, while there were food and craft stalls at several venues around the town.
Other highlights included a three day flower festival at St Ninian's Church and two performances of Wooler at War, a musical drama, at Glendale Middle School.
Volunteers from Wooler's Big Knit can also be proud of themselves for creating a scarf the length of the main shopping parade in time for the event.
"It all started at last year's festival when there was an extreme knitting workshop," explained committee member Vera Wood.
"It was suggested we go for the world record for the longest scarf but that turned out to be 33 miles which we thought was a bit ambitious so we thought we would see if we could get knitting to go the length of the high street.
"Unfortunately it turned out there was nowhere on the high street to hang it but we were able to put it up at Padgepool Place for visitors to see."
The 400 metre long scarf is now being split into sections before being made into blankets and going to charity. A photographic display in the Cheviot Centre was also getting a great deal of attention with visitors asked to pick their favourites.
The Glendale Screensaver project, organised by Kirknewton Parish Council, aims to produce a CD with photographs of the local area. These will be made into a screensaver available from tourist information centres for a projected cost of £6.
"It's hoped the disc will be a reminder for people of their visit to Glendale," said Edward Brown, parish council chairman.
The project has been partially funded by the Leader Gold small grants scheme.
