The
festival is about supporting young people to develop team and
leadership skills, event management and confidence, promoting the beauty
of the Welsh Harp and promoting community cohesion.

Editor's comment: Watch out for McDonald's marketing as a local franchise owner is funding the stage, balloons and face painting.
