The annual event, which has been taking place in the south Antrim town for over 265 years, only stopping during World War II, the mid-1970s, the Foot and Mouth outbreak and the Covid-19 pandemic, returned to the town centre with a traditional horse fair, stalls and amusements.
Here’s 20 photographs from the May Day festivities.
