The markets made a comeback after a 15-month absence with 50 stalls, live music, and activities for all ages to enjoy.
Children waited to get their faces painted, to get a temporary tattoo, ran across the playground and bounced on the jumping castle.
Volunteer organiser and Berrima Public School parent Mel Kerr said she "could feel the buzz."
"I think everyone was really happy to be back," she said.

"It's nice to see community things coming back."
The not-for-profit market was run by school staff, parents and Berrima Public School students who helped serve baked goods.
Ms Kerr said all proceeds from the markets went towards the school's Kitchen Garden Program which allowed students to grow produce in the school garden, cook and prepare it on the school premises.
Funds were also raised through the Highlands Community cookbook containing a collection of recipes from members of the Berrima community and Berrima stores and restaurants.
She also added that the sausage sizzle and coffees were a crowd favourite and were gone by the afternoon.
Volunteers have been working together since March for their return.
The school markets take place on the fourth Sunday of the month.
