Saturday's Christmas in July market was a hit, with organiser Kirsty Keys saying the event was "far beyond expectations."
"It went really well; it was fantastic," she said.
"It's good to have something different in the town, and we had a very positive response from the community.
The vibe was all the way down the street; there were heaps of people on the street, inside and outside the Town Hall.
The inflatables and bucking bull were popular, and there were so many visitors from out of town.
Ms Keys said she even heard positive feedback when visiting Horsham on Monday.
"When I went to Horsham on Monday, people there were saying they had seen me at the market, which was good to hear."
Warracknabeal Action Group's Stacey Drage said the stores in town also benefited from the extra traffic the market brought to the streets on Saturday.
"It created a buzz in the town, which was good," she said.
"Someone said to me what a great environment we have.
"The shops that opened on Saturday reported having a good day, as did the Playgroup and Town Hall groups."
