\u201cParti Ponty, the first one day Welsh festival ran with great popularity for 13 years. Requests for its return have been numerous, from Welsh speaking and non-Welsh speaking people alike. We are proud to bring this important event back and to show people from near and far what the Welsh language and Pontypridd, an iconic Welsh town, have to offer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThis is a festival that welcomes everybody of all ages, background and language.

Because the sun always shines on Ponty.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
