Festivities ran all through the weekend, with workshops, bands, a ceilidh and many performances from dance troupes.
For the past two years the hugely popular festival has been held online, and this year's return marks 44 years since it was first launched.
Run entirely by volunteers, the festival celebrates all things 'folk', from bands to dance groups to storytelling.
