The theme of 'Fresh Air' has been chosen, with a keen focus on the importance of air quality and environmental sustainability. 

When asked why this theme was chosen, organisers said: "Our goal is to draw attention to Newport's poor air quality and inspire people to consider how they can help."

The Maindee Festival Association was created in 1997 to promote and celebrate the diversity of the people who live and work in the Maindee area of Newport.

Each year, the festival brings together people of all ages and backgrounds for a day of cultural celebration, artistic expression, and family fun.

Entry into the festival is free, with traders offering food and drinks at a charge.
