Blackwood Summer Festival June 29th & 30th 2013
Last year our second summer festival was held in Blackwood High Street. Traders, funfair rides, music, dance and children’s costumed characters all took to the high street delivering a fun packed family themed event, which attracted thousands of visitors. Due to its success it’s back again for 2013 but this year it’s bigger and better. Children and the young at heart will be descending on the town centre to meet up with some of TV’s most popular characters. Thrown into the mix will be some high quality children’s funfair rides, music, street entertainment, food and craft stalls as well as Punch and Judy, children’s workshops and face painting.
