Organised by North Notts BID, the seventh annual event featured tribute performances celebrating K-Pop Demon Hunters, Bruno Mars, Arctic Monkeys and Benson Boone.
Funk and disco band Le Freak were this year’s headline act, closing the event with a celebration of Chic and Nile Rodgers’ biggest hits.
The successful event filled the Market Square with vibrant music, while bringing people into Retford, and supporting local businesses.
Sally Gillborn MBE, chief executive at North Notts BID, said: “It was brilliant to see Retford Market Square in full voice for our seventh Party in the Square, with families, friends and visitors coming together to enjoy an afternoon of free music, entertainment and family fun.
"There was such a lively atmosphere throughout the day and it was lovely to see people of all ages singing, dancing and enjoying themselves in the heart of the town.”
