Barryfornia 2022 will also include auto jumble and swap meets giving people the opportunity to buy or swap second-hand vehicle parts.
The festival will also host an array of food traders, with it hoped that a vintage crepe and waffle van – called Wally and owned by Vanity Weddings – will help people get their sugar fix.
Doughnutters will also be there dishing up - you guessed it - doughnuts and coffee with Bab Haus lined up to serve up street food.
The festival will also include other refreshments, independent makers and artists selling foods, official Rothfink Industries merchandise and more.
Plus people enjoying the festivities will also have the opportunity to explore the beach, arcades, funfair and all that Barry Island has to offer.
