Fine weather, gourmet delights and headline act Australian rock great Ian Moss drew a record Friday night crowd to the event, according to organisers.

And the crowd partied long into the balmy evening with plenty of fine food, wine and cider stalls providing something for all tastes.

The majority of the 1900 chairs, 270 tables and 40 benches were full.

International buskers stalked the park's lanes entertaining those mingling with friends as the children watched the Mieke Lizotte Circus Workshop at the Kids Kingdom or enjoyed the Tiny Top.

The three-day gourmet celebration continues today from 11am and Mahalia Barnes and Prinnie Stevens will perform tonight, before the event wraps up tomorrow  afternoon.
