The sun was shining and so were the concert goers who roamed from all corners of the city, ready to dance, clap their hands and sing a long to the sounds that filled the grassy fields.
The atmosphere of the festival is reminiscant of modern day Woodstock, in the way people come out and dress so effortlessly in their own personal style.
This year the top trends that stood out in the crowd were: long maxi skirts, floppy felt and panama hats, bell-bottom jeans , high waisted denim shorts, leather and denim cut vests, vintage long cap sleeved dresses, sandals and boots.
Another amazing year of this festival has come and gone, but this year definitely left it's mark on the city, people and even the performers.
Guy Garvey of the band Elbow, who hit the main stage on sunday said, " It's the coolest American festival that I've been to," in Rolling Stone's review of the weekend. And fellow performer, Jason Isbell tweeted, " I do declare, Hardly Strictly is the best festival in America."
So if you missed it, don't worry! Who knows what banjo strumming bands will take their place in next year's line-up and what surprises are in store from it.
