Items included the 2008 WYD Song, a medieval weaponry display and more music. We also had a craft stall in the main street selling jewellery, cards and artwork by pilgrims.
The face-painting for kids was a great success.
Newtown Festival also provided an opportunity for a cultural fashion show and food fundraiser—a great way to celebrate our diverse community.
