• The National Eisteddfod of Wales, four huge days of music, poetry, drama, folklore, even a rock festival
• Cardiff Castle Open Air Theatre The Lord Chamberlain's Men perform Much Ado About Nothing. Bring a picnic, a deck chair and a cool drink.
• WOW on the Waterfront an amazing free street - and harbor - theatre event, this year featuring the French Compagnie Malabar with acrobats, jugglers, dancers and spectacle setting sail on a ship of dreams.

The fun kicks off this weekend with The Cardiff International Food & Drink Festival, Friday and Saturday, noon to 10p.m. and Sunday, noon to 7 p.m. Taste your way - and shop - around Wales, France, Germany, Norway and Italy. Professionals will be providing demonstrations of seasonal recipes.
