With no shortage of attractions on offer for the entire family, the event saw hundreds of people come and go throughout the day.
The fair is a major fundraiser for Eglinton Public School.
Eglinton Public School P and C president Emma Grabham said there was a consistent buzz among the people who attended the fair.
"We saw just about every family with children at the school attend the fair," Ms Grabham said.
"To put that into perspective, there's around 400 students at Eglinton Public School."
A new addition to this year's fair was the presence of the Bathurst Soaring Club, who provided a spectacular display for attendees.
"We had a glider fly over the fair and perform some stunts for the crowd," Ms Grabham said.
"There was also a glider on display for children to sit in and learn about how it all works."
Students from Eglinton Public School were heavily involved in proceedings through their help running stalls and as members of various live performances.

Ms Grabham is hoping to expand the fair in 2020.
"We've got a great formula going for this event, and we're looking forward to adding a few subtle features in the future," she said.
