The sun shone down and the steam rose up from the streets of Camborne on Saturday as the town held the 33rd annual Trevithick Day celebrations.

Crowds gathered in the streets as an array of steam powered vehicles paraded by in honour of the town's most famous son, Richard Trevithick.

As well as the steam parade, residents and visitors were able to enjoy a new look event this year, with traditional and modern music across five stages throughout the town, including Cornish music and male voice choirs, rock, samba, carnival drumming, and ska.

There was also dancing, with the children taking part in the Bal Maidens and Miners Dance and the adults in Richard Trevithick's Dance, along with model exhibitions, vintage vehicles, a display of steam engines and stationary engines, and fair ground rides and market stalls.

Trevithick Day, started in 1984, is held every last Saturday of April to commemorate Richard Trevithick, an inventor and steam pioneer who successfully tested the world's first steam-powered passenger carrying vehicle, as remembered in the Cornish song Going Up Camborne Hill.
