THE Pill festival is an institution of celebration and fun in Newport taking place annually for many decades.
Boasting colourful outfits, bedazzled floats, games, music and delicious food, it is a staple of the Newport community, anticipated every year since it began.
Many may remember attending as young children, with family and friends, as part of the parade processions or taking part in the infamous tug-of-war.
Take a look at these images from the Argus archives of the Pill festival from as far back as 1984 which show how time hasn’t dampened the spirit of the people.
