Building on the reputation of Llangollen's International Musical Eisteddfod, a fringe festival began in 1997 – A Festival of World Music and the Arts. The fringe has grown in size and scope and now aims to give locals and visitors an insight into the origins, techniques and characteristics of artistic cultures from around the world. To this end the fringe assembles musical and performance talent from home and abroad to reflect the artistic output of different cultures through workshops and concerts. Performances and entertainment in previous years has included everything from Japanese drummers to Turkish belly dancing workshops.
