Organisers – The Glendale Agricultural Society – said almost 15,000 came through the gate and hailed the JCB dancing diggers as a major attraction.
Vantage points around the main ring were full to bursting as the vehicles performed a wide array of stunts to music.
Other attractions such as the livestock classes, horticultural and industrial exhibits, Persimmons Gun Dog Display and a parade of Percy Hunt foxhounds were also popular.
Society chairman Scott Donaldson said: "The JCB dancing diggers certainly pulled the big crowd in. It was something different and something special to bring people in.
"Other than that all around the show ground, the speciality food marquee, the horticultural and industrial marquee, the craft marquee and the countryside marquee have been packed with people – even when it wasn't raining.
"But the showers haven't taken away from the day."
Show secretary Gillian Jones said: "The team has done a terrific job and even a few showers hasn't spoiled the turnout. The dancing diggers has been a great attraction."
Nick Swinburn, from Rothbury, won the fell race and Ian Curry, from Wooler, won the quoits for the fourth year in a row.
Northumbrian Wigwam Village, of Borewell Farm, near Berwick, won the society's inaugural award for new enterprise, sponsored by George F White.
