The fair, which will be on Bedwlwyn Road and Oakfield Street, will take place between 9am and 5pm on Saturday March 25.
Both streets will be closed between 9pm on Friday March 24 and 9pm on Saturday March 25, with a one-way system in place along Pengam Road between its junctions with Bedwlwyn Road and the access road to Oakfield car park and Lidl.
Caerphilly County Borough Council is organising the event. It’s deputy leader, Cllr Jamie Pritchard, said: “Last year’s Ystrad Mynach Spring Fair attracted over 6,000 visitors to the town centre, an increase in footfall of over 5,000 visitors in comparison to the previous Saturday.
“Other events held in the town centres in 2022 brought their busiest day of the year with huge numbers coming out to support the events and the high streets.”
Spring fairs have already been held in Bargoed and Blackwood this spring, with Caerphilly set to host its Food and Drink Festival on April 29.
