As the canal had been closed for over a year, the boat trips were very popular - as was the folk dancing and the now traditional performances by Dawson Smith and the Exciles.

The 2010 event will take place at Rhondda Heritage Park, Porth, and it will be part of the 100th anniversary commemoration of the Tonypandy Riots - when "locked out" miners clashed with police in the town. Find out more about the events leading up to this at the Rhondda Cynon Taff site.
