The West Bay seafront was taken over once again for a day of music, family fun and fireworks.
The annual West Bay Day featured many activities and a climactic firework finish.
The event on Sunday - which celebrates the area’s rich history, heritage, quality of food, and local businesses - enjoyed slightly overcast but warm weather this year.
It included an array of fun activities and entertainment for the whole family including stalls and refreshments, live music, and a duck race.
Melanie White from Yeovil attended with her family. She said: "I have not been before this is my first time here. The music is really good."
Emma Ramsay said: "I think it is a nice thing. We are staying in the holiday park so it is a nice thing for us to come down to. It has a nice and relaxed atmosphere."
Amanda Frih from Hertfordshire attended with her husband Sami. She said: "It is really good, we have never experienced anything like this."
Justin Aylott from Dorchester attended with his wife Laura. He said: "This is our first West Bay Day. It is good, the weather is nice and the music is good."
Emily Hunt from London said: "I don't up a lot of these up in London so it is lovely to see such a lovely community here and it seems really well attended."
West Bay Days Committee member Nina Garcia said: "It is amazing. Really lovely and very busy.
"It is a busy one today. We have the weather for it today which always makes a difference.
"We always raise money for local community groups and charities and that is what today is all about.
"Thank you to all our sponsors and our volunteers without them we would not be able to make it happen. It is going from strength to strength each year it's amazing."
This year, the event was supporting a series of causes, such as the Bridport U10s football team, Bridport Youth Kick Boxing and Bridport Men’s Wellness.
Steeped in tradition, the roots of the festival can be traced back to 1844, when it was known as the West Bay Regatta.
West Bay Days was formed in 2012, and are a group of volunteers dedicated to the future of the area. They organise other events popular in the town, such as Pirates Day and the Christmas Tree on Harbour Green.
