A combination of great weather and great smells attracted people to the town centre stalls.
Culinary delights and beverages from both Shropshire and North Wales, the rest of the UK and more international climes were on offer at the event, which is now in its 13th year.
Organised by Oswestry Town Council and running over Saturday and Sunday, the festival saw Mayor Jay Moore just one of the many people enjoying everything it has to offer.Shaun Melusi from business Liar LiarCouncillor Moore said:"This has become a tradition in Oswestry and it is a great chance for people to sample food and drink they might not have known about or to see the best of what shops, bakers and producers have to offer.
"I was there at the opening of the event at 10am and there was a steady flow of people from then - it was building up nicely and we are expecting hundreds of people who either live in the town or are visiting - it's a great opportunity for Oswestry as well to show itself off.
One of the independent traders benefitting from an increase in visitors was Gillham's deli which has been in the town over 50 years. Harry Maltby of the deli was reporting a brisk trade on the first morning of the festival.
