The Full Shebang, on Saturday, September 3, was staged by First Art for the third successive year.
Events throughout the day included art workshops, interactive performances, a poetry takeaway vendor and a time machine disco.
Rachel Gosselin, from Mansfield, attended the festival for the second time, with her four-year-old daughter, Alexis.
The 34-year-old said: “It was great to see all of the acts.
“My four-year-old loved them all, especially the walking octopus and the moving dustbin that scared people and sprayed water.
“It was a fantastic event for all ages.
“I am looking forward to the next one."
A spokesman for First Art which brings ‘inspirational cultural experiences, as well as helping local people to produce and shape their own cultural experiences and events’ said: “A massive thank you to everyone that came along.
“It’s always so fantastic to see Mansfield buzzing with people enjoying all the different performances, street theatre and activities.”
