The Parade

The parade assembles at Newport Rugby Club at 11.00am on Saturday July 6th and departs at 12.00pm to arrives at the Festival site 1.00pm. Younger children can join the parade at 12.30pm at Community House.

The Maindee Festival street parade is a wild and colourful celebration of our diverse local cultures. Everyone get dressed up and take to the streets to head for the Festival site.  They are supported by giant figures and bands of musicians. It is a real spectacle. Go to our picture section to see previous year's parades.

The theme of this year’s parade is “Flower Power”

E:mail  info@maindee.org if you want your group to join the parade, or need help with costumes.

nb: If you fancy making a big costume, there are lots of ideas at puppeteers' cooperative
