ORGANISERS of this year's Party in the Parc in St Asaph will decide the festival's future this week.
The music event, now in its fourth year, attracted its biggest-ever recorded crowds on Saturday.

Festivalgoers were treated to fantastic performances from among others Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist James Stone, indie rockers, Evolve, and 10-piece rhythm and blues band, Goodfellas, during the eight-hour music marathon held at Roe Plas Playing Fields.

Organiser Mike Jones, who helped stage the event in conjunction with St Asaph City of Music, attended a de-briefing on Monday with police and the events' security team where he was told four people were arrested at the event.

He said: "We don't have the final figure yet, but we estimate that there were over 5,000 there on Saturday.
"I thought it was an excellent day with people outside enjoying the music along with family and friends.

"As far as the music goes I thought James Stone was fantastic and really got the party going. But all the acts played really well and fortunately everything went smoothly."

Mike revealed that this year a bigger stage was introduced to take Party in the Parc "up to that other level."

He said: "Every year it has exceeded our expectations. We need to sit down now with supporters, organisers and authorities to decide what happens next.
"The way I see it is that we can go back to being a family fun day or take it on to the next level."

St Asaph City of Music Festival Chairman, Di Roberts, praised Mike Jones for his role in staging the event and vowed to work with him to ensure the future of the event which is now firmly part of the area's summer social calendar.

"I would like to see the event continue because it has become established very quickly and is something the people of St Asaph and surrounding areas really look forward to.

"But there are issues we need to look at in conjunction with Mike, St Asaph City of Music, the town council and police. I'm not sure whether we can expand it."
