Mold Carnival 2025: Huge crowds attend town's flagship event
Festivities then continued at Kendricks Field and 'The Rec', with performances from dancing troupes and the Cambria Band, who had also lead the parade.
Other activities, competitions, and independent craft and food and drink stalls gave eventgoers much to try out and taste.
The event, which is organised by Mold Town Council and other volunteers, hosted the 'It's a Knockout' challenge, with businesses, clubs and pubs getting involved.
The 'It's a Knockout' event saw teams take on inflatable obstacles, foam, and water - all while wearing silly costumes - to compete for the title of Mold Carnival Knockout Champions 2025.
The FA Wales and McDonald's Football Festival also took place, close to a huge funfair with rides for all ages, including a daunting pendulum and the ever-popular Ferris Wheel.

A 'quiet hour' was held between 10-11am on the day to support children with additional learning needs.
There was live music from several performers, including David Murray and The New Kid, Brody Xander, Rock Choir, and Urban Fusion.
Mayor of Mold, Councillor Paul Beacher, said there was "something for everyone" in an event which "brings the town together".
"Mold Carnival is basically the biggest one in Flintshire, I like to think," Mayor Beacher told Leader Live.
"Eight people put in on, they work from January right through.
"Two fun-packed fields again - it's a big event and a free event which brings the town together - that's the main thing.
"People come and enjoy themselves, bring their children, there's something for everyone.
"I'm glad I'm part of it, and that it's part of the town. The day's gone well."

This Is The Dôen Blouse All the Celebs Are Wearing This Summer - And It's Still In Stock
Katie Holmes has a talent for making laid-back pieces look quietly elevated and her latest outfit on the set of Happy Hours is a reminder of just how effortless summer outfits can be. Filming alongside Joshua Jackson in New York's Washington Square Park, she wore Dôen's Poppy Traveller top, a relaxed vest with subtle lace and a v-neckline. The styling was classic Holmes: unfussy and grounded. She paired the soft poppy blouse with relaxed jeans, ballet flats (very much back in fashion), and a well-worn Chloé Paddington bag the early 2000s It bag that's having a nostalgic second life. Dôen isn't a flashy label. But it's one that consistently pops up in well-dressed celebrity wardrobes. Taylor Swift was photographed wearing the exact same top back in May while out with Travis Kelce, pairing it with the matching skirt. Holmes' version feels more thrown-on less curated, more lived-in. The brand has long been favoured by the kind of women who know what they like - from Selena Gomez to Kaia Gerber - and it's easy to see the appeal. Dôen blends vintage shapes with an easy femininity that feels soft, not saccharine. Recently film sets have been a style-watching zone (just look at The Devil Wears Prada 2) , and Holmes is giving us off-duty inspiration in real time too. Her take on the Dôen blouse isn't trying too hard. It doesn't need to. It's the kind of piece that works with whatever you've already got - jeans, flats, an old bag and still manages to feel pulled together. Sometimes that's all you need: one really good blouse. 1.

The J.Crew x Rouje Collection Is Pure Vintage Summer Romance
Imagine if Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and a Parisian It-girl went on holiday together and shared a suitcase. That's basically the vibe of and Rouje's new collab - a tight little drop of 18 pieces pulling from both sides of the Atlantic, with just the right amount of '90s nostalgia and quiet luxury energy. The whole thing feels like it's been lifted from someone's impossibly chic archive. There's a polka-dotwrap dress you'll probably end up living in, the kind of red mules that turn heads but still look like they've been in your wardrobe for years, and a matching knit tank and skirt set that feels so south of France it should come with a glass of wine. It's got that romantic, vintage-leaning Rouje feel - Jeanne Damas' fingerprints are all over it - but New York polish stops it from going full whimsical. It's flirty, but grounded. French, but not cliché. Minimal, but not boring. Even the jeans are good - wide-leg with a slight '70s kick and big patch pockets. Tick. Nothing in the lineup is trying too hard. There's a simplicity to it that feels refreshing, like you could throw any of it on and go. Which, to be honest, is the dream. The only catch? The collection doesn't ship internationally. Bit of a heartbreak, but not a total dealbreaker, not when the pieces are this good. If you're outside the U.S., it might be time to text that one friend with a New York address or finally cave and set up a forwarding account. Honestly, for that polka-dot dress alone, it's kind of worth the faff. Renee Washington , Grazia's digital fashion and beauty writer, lives online.
