Organised by the Pembrokeshire Language Forum and Pembrokeshire County Council, the annual parade has proved to be popular with schools and residents alike.

Led by the enthusiastic sounds of Samba Doc, the parade started from the top of town and children marched down High Street before looping through the town centre and ending at Picton Playing Fields, for an open-air jamboree.
