Saffron Walden came alive for the 18th Dance in the Square, a free event organised by Saffron Walden Initiative, on Saturday.
The crowd enjoyed performances from headliners Miss Disco supported by Moonshine Coyote.
Organiser Jacqui Portway said: “We are delighted that the Initiative was able to put on a free performance for the community with such great bands.
"This was thanks to the generosity of the public with the bucket collection plus grants and sponsorship."
Jacqui said volunteers had prepared the Square then cleared away everything at the end.
She added: "It was definitely a night to remember.”
A spokesperson for Miss Disco said: “We couldn’t have dreamt a more perfect evening for our first gig in 574 days!
"We were truly blown away by the reaction we received from the crowd – a sea of people all singing and dancing.
"They made it such a very special night for us.
"Huge thanks to event organiser Jacqui Portway, Keith Churchward and Terry Frostick from the Town Council, and all the volunteers who worked so hard to make the event happen. They all deserve medals!”
Grants and sponsorship came from Frank Riccio Hairdressing, InXpress Cambridge, Saffron Building Society, Saffron Walden Town Council, Stansted Airport Passenger Community Fund and Uttlesford District Council.
Organisers also wish to thank Andrew Green, Martin and Rosie Porter, Henry Rowe, Cindy Whife, Saffron Walden Market Traders, Ambulance Solutions, Barclays Bank, Audley Ice Cream, Boho Kitchen, Crystal Waters, Giggly Pig, King’s Arms, Toast & Cheese and the volunteers for their work.
