The creators of some of Cardiff’s most successful foodie events are back with a big street-food festival in Sophia Gardens for the next few weeks, and entry is completely free, every weekend.
Starting on Friday 17th August and running until Sunday 9th September, the festival – named ‘The Summer Feastival’ – will bring together award-winning street food traders and entertainment to deliver a month-long celebration of good food and good times.
The Summer Feastival will run every Friday evening, all day Saturday and until 8pm on Sunday, and each weekend will feature a changing line-up of different street food traders from across Wales and the South West.
