Thousands of country music fans were left tired and sunburned on Sunday as the Cavendish Beach Music Festival wrapped for another year.

Grammy winner Chris Stapleton closed out the three-day festival Saturday night.

The CBMF, which began in 2009, attracts tens of thousands of people to the resort municipality.

The shade was the best place to be Saturday. Environment Canada had issued a heat warning, with temperatures passing the 30 C mark in some areas.

Here are some photos from Saturday.
