Summer showers did little to deter the arrivals to Cushendale Woolen Mills, on Saturday afternoon.
The traditional community event included something for all the family this year - including talks, art and dance.
The woollen mill in Graignamanagh was first established in the town by Cistercian monks, alongside their monastery, in the year 1204.
The mill was already almost 600 years in existence when it came into the stewardship of the Cushen family - and today the Cushens celebrate the involvement of the sixth generations of their family with the mill.
