Vintage buses pulled up to stop at the Flag Market during Saturday.
Part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Preston Bus Station being built the city council put on the classic buses display.
The event included a return to the city for the green John Fishwick and Sons buses.
On the Harris balcony there was the chance to drive a remote control bus through an obstacle course.
A range of events are being held ahead of an exhibition at the Harris which looks at the city’s iconic brutalist building.
