The town celebrated its annual Rock the Clock rockabilly, vintage and retro festival with a range of activities and displays.
Volunteer Simon Buccheri said it was an amazing weekend filled with fashion and dancing.
There was a vintage car display, dancing on the street under the historic clocktower, live music and a Miss Rock the Clock contest saw women dressed in their favourite retro gear in a bid to take out the prestigious title.
Mr Buccheri said a group of volunteer organisers who didn't want to lose the festival banded together to ensure it remained in the town.
"We’ve had some really positive feedback that what we’re doing is working," Mr Buccheri said.
He said there were a number of volunteers who worked behind the scenes to bring the festival to life and also thanked businesses and the community for its support.
Also looking its best in time for the festival was its namesake the Camperdown Clocktower which underwent a $420,000 makeover which began in May.
The completed works included new clock faces, a new copper roof and the rehabilitation of the tower’s bricks and mortar.
