All the stalls planned for a huge food and drink festival returning to Cardiff Bay this summer have been announced. With over 100 traders taking part in the three-day event, Cardiff Food and Drink Festival has long been an annual event on Roald Dahl Plass.
The festival will run from Friday, July 7 to Sunday, July 9 and promises a "spectacular spread of quality produce", a "wonderful selection of hand-made goods" and a full programme of live music. The free event will run from 12pm to 10pm on the Friday, from 11am to 10pm on the Saturday and 11am until 7pm on the Sunday evening. Other than a Covid-induced hiatus, the event has been running in the capital for over 20 years.
More than 100 stallholders will offer a spectacular spread of foodie delights, including artisanal ice-creams, cheeses, meats, brewed and distilled beverages at the Producers' Fair; preserves, sweet treats, and locally-grown produce at the Farmers' Market; while the traders in the Street Food Piazza cook up everything from burgers to bao buns, and squid to souvlaki.

A selection of hand-picked, local grassroots acts and festival favourites will provide the soundtrack, with live music performed on the bandstand throughout the day and well into the evening.
