A free three-day summer festival of local and international food, producers and music on Roald Dahl Plass in Cardiff Bay.

Cardiff Food & Drink Festival returns each summer to Roald Dahl Plass in Cardiff Bay. It is run by Production 78 with Cardiff Council's events team. Entry is free and no ticket is needed; you pay at each stall.

The site is split into a producers' fair and farmers' market, a street food piazza with bars, a crafters' market and a bandstand, with music across all three days.

Well-behaved dogs on leads are allowed, though the organisers warn it gets busy and noisy. The Bay is served by the Baycar and several Cardiff Bus routes.
