Thousands of music lovers were dancing in the streets as Southampton's biggest free music event took over the city.
More than 1,000 artists captivated visitors at this year's Music in the City event, the annual gathering that showcases local talent to the masses.
The musical extravaganza offers something for everyone in a host of unusual places around Southampton, including the city's 800 year old vaults, which are rarely opened to the public.
From rock to jazz and classical to Americana, every genre of music is catered for in a host of quirky venues, which also include the SS Shieldhall, the largest working steamship in Britain.
Organised by former Southampton mayor Linda Norris, the event aims to celebrate the array of musical talent from the city and further afield.
It is supported by hundreds of talented musicians young and old who give up their time for free to entertain enthusiastic crowds.
Included in the programme of event was local The Voice star Harry Fisher. He was among the artists to appear in The Marlands shopping centre where a special space had been created by talent scout Rosalind Fountain to showcase musical stars of the future.
However, the fun doesn't stop there as a programme of classical music takes over St Mary's Church tomorrow. City of Southampton Orchestra and Southampton Philharmonic Choir present a selection of beautiful music, including the Mozart Clarinet Concerto.
They're followed by a variety set from Southampton's popular flute orchestra Flautissimo and Southampton Folk Orchestra.
