There was a feast of music, dance, language and culture during the inaugural Celtfest, the new name for the re-branded Yn Chruinnaght festival.
Top folk acts Connla and Talsik, along with Scottish composer Hamish Napier and folk/blues singer Rioghnach Connolly performed headline concerts at the Peel Centenary Centre, while on Saturday there was a day packed with arts and traditional dancing, all held within the grounds of Peel Cathedral.
The new labyrinth area in particular in front of the church made for a great performance area, and was well used by dance groups Perree Bane and Skeddan Jiarg.
Singer Ruth Keggin and harpist Rachel Hair also performed in the cathedral.
There were also local artists performing over the week, including Scran, Malcolm Stitt, Jamie Smith and Clash Vooar.
