Organiser Lisa Groves said despite some minor issues, the event was a huge success.
“It actually warmed our hearts to see so many people turn up, so many people having fun,” she said.
“Being our first event, there was always going to be teething problems, but we try to do the best we can to make 2500 people happy.
“We've come away very positive from it. We're very happy with how everything went.”

Commentary on social media afterwards was overwhelmingly positive for the inaugural event.
Ms Groves said the organisers would discuss the future of the event early this year.
“We're going to debrief (about) everything and take on everyone's feedback and we'll make a decision early this year, as to what we do going forward,” she said.
“We’re thank everybody for supporting the event ... it can't happen without volunteers, but it also can't happen without the people turning up.”
