The city was buzzing as thousands descended on the city for the 12th edition of the festival, with more than 200 acts performing live at more than 50 venues.
It was a proud showcase for the city, with a diverse mix of performers drawing excited crowds to historic city landmarks including Lancaster Castle and the Priory, as well as packed city centre shops, pubs and squares.
These were some of the scenes as the city enjoyed a long weekend of music, dance and merriment.
