The annual event is organised by Dartford council.
Cllr David Mote went to the festival on Sunday.
He said: “Dartford really does know how to party.
“I think the most important thing about this event is that the council have been managing to keep it running for so long.
“There were lots of people coming together as a community.
“It was an opportunity for businesses, charities and groups to show what they have to offer. All the sports clubs were there too.
“We’re so lucky that there is so much going on in Dartford, we’re running out of weekends to put events on.”
