''Circus Dayze'' organiser Kim ''Dusty'' Murtagh said about 500 attended the event, which saw some decked out in period dress.
Visitors were entertained by a circus group from the University of Otago, and magician Jonathan Usher, face painting and pony rides on Francesca the gypsy cob.
The 10ha field of daffodils at the former Black Horse Brewery site at Wetherstons was first planted 118 years ago. In its heyday in the 1930s, it attracted thousands of visitors.
Circus Dayze was the central event of Daffodil Dayze - which runs each year during spring, from September 1 to November 30. It features the ruins of Otago's most successful provincial brewery and includes walks and rare plant species.
The site is open each day from 10am to 5pm. After paying an entry fee, visitors can walk through fields of daffodils and the brewery ruins.
Hart's Black Horse Brewery was registered as a Category 1 Historic Places Trust listing on February 28.
