As the sun shone on Stonehaven, beer lovers wearing sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts gathered for the final day of the Midsummer Beer Happening.

Crowds have been enjoying some of the finest craft beers in the sun at Baird Park since the festival kicked off on Thursday.

And today, the park was awash with colour as festivalgoers donned their Hawaiian shirts – turning Stonehaven into a tropical paradise.

The festival combines craft brewing, street food, and music for a truly unique experience.

With more than 150 beers from across the UK and Europe, there was something for everyone, as festival goers relaxed with a beer basking in the warm summer sun.

Award-winning local food vendors were also on hand for something to accompany a pint – whether it be fish and chips, pizza, pies, seafood or ice cream.

To top it off, north-east musicians entertained crowds with a rich mix of music from rock to jazz, and soul to folk.

Organiser Robert Lindsay says he wanted to make this year’s event an unforgettable experience for all.

Our photographer Kami Thomson headed to the festival to capture some of the action.
