Members of the audience were entertained by top performing competitors from various sections of the festival.
The concert was followed by the presentation of overall awards, including the Junior Vocal Solo Championship and the Supreme Vocal Solo award.
It was also a poignant occasion for Music Festival secretary Joy Gillespie, who stepped down from the post after 15 years. She made a heartfelt speech thanking everyone for their support throughout the years and introduced her successor, Emma Donnelly, who will oversee the festival from 2026.
Festival Association Chair, Diane Kane, thanked Joy and presented her with flowers to the sound of loud applause from the audience.
Tony Hendron took these great photos on the night as the curtain came down on another successful festival.
