Thousands watch colourful Eisteddfod parade go through town

Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod’s celebrated Parade of Nations took place in the town this afternoon (Wednesday).

Thousands of spectators watched the colourful cavalcade start from the Eisteddfod and process through the town centre.

They were thrilled to see competitors and performers from as far away as Burundi, Canada, China, Ghana, India, Japan, Malaysia, Morocco, Singapore, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, USA and Zimbabwe alongside dozens of groups from the UK. 

The parade was to be followed by a huge party on the Eisteddfod field, where visitors will be able to get onto the "ground for a pound". 

Later in the evening Welsh folk heroes Calan will headline the Wales Welcomes the World concert in the Pavilion, also starring Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists Johns Boys Chorus and Royal Harpist Alis Huws, alongside the Llangollen International Orchestra.
