Mold Carnival 2025: Huge crowds attend town's flagship event
Crowds lined the streets as the parade made its way through town, leaving Griffiths Square Car Park at 10.30am and proceeding down the town's high street, Earl Road, and Maes Bodlonfa.
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."
