Festival director Tom Naylor-Leyland, said: "What a weekend! From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all who visited Malton over the bank holiday and made it such an exciting Festival.
"There were giant crowds, superb food and drink, plenty of laughs and loads of fun. It was incredible to see town so busy, so buzzing, so alive.
"Thank you all our stall holders, volunteers, organisers and to everyone who made the effort to come and support. It was exhilarating, tasty, tiring and just a little mad. It will be back."
