The free family fun day, at Horsham's Sawyer Park, included a range of games, activities, performances and giveaways.
Christian children's musician Sean W. Smith performed and promoted his new CD Groove.
Activities include rock-climbing, rides and giant inflatables.
Committee member Anna Le Roux said great weather helped draw the large crowd.
"It was wonderful. There were so many people and the park looked so colourful," she said.
"This was such a good event and everything was free. Families didn't have to spend a cent."
Quantong dad Michael Materne said he brought his son Isaac to the event every year.
"It's really well organised," he said.
"There is no hassle, it's simple and safe and everything is free. It's great.
"Isaac loves the jumping castle and the big slide."
Mr Materne said there should be more free family events in the region.
Horsham mother Caroline White said she brought her children to the event for the first time last year.
"It's a good fun day out and an awesome event," she said.
Along with stands, rides and entertainment, there was food.
The Horsham Salvation Army was on hand to cook the barbecue.
Volunteer David Collard said the army always tried to help out where it could.
There was also popcorn machines and fruit kebabs.
Ms Le Roux said the event would definitely continue next year.
