Home to literally hundreds of events throughout

Cardiff is a great place to enjoy a break if you're looking to take in an event
this summer. From sporting events to concerts, Cardiff really does have it all.
But what can you see this summer? Here are a few suggestions:
FIM Speedway Grand Prix
This Grand Prix is the biggest motorsport event of
the year to be seen in Cardiff and attracts over 40,000 fans to the Millennium
Stadium each year. On the 12th of July, the stadium will come alive
with the sound of engines revving and the smell of motor oil as the best
speedway riders in the world compete to win this championship event. Speedway
is a real heart in the mouth kind of motorsport and well worth a watch if you
aren't familiar with the sport. The competitors race on powerful bikes that
have no gears or brakes, at over 120kph, so there are always plenty of moments
that have you gasping out loud and ultimately admiring the skill of these
talented bikers.
Cardiff International Food and Drink Festival
Taking place between the 11th and 13th
of July, the Cardiff International Food and Drink Festival is a great place for
foodies to visit. Featuring the finest food, drink and crafts from Wales and
around the world, this yearly festival is always a great hit with locals and
visitors alike. Why not take a wander between the stalls, buy something
delicious to eat and enjoy it while listening to the entertainment. You'll find
speciality cheeses, artisan breads, amazing liquors and wines, delicious
patisserie and so much more to tempt your taste buds that you'll probably
venture back every day just to try something different for lunch.
Cardiff Harbour Festival
Held on the August Bank Holiday, this Cardiff favourite returns again and this year it brings the
UK leg of the Extreme Sailing Series with it. You'll get to watch 40 foot
catamarans racing each other around the bay at tremendous speeds, enjoy the
British Fishcraft Championships and visit the continental market. There's music
at the bandstand and the beach will be transformed into a traditional seaside style
beach, with donkey rides, candy floss and lots of stalls and entertainment to
enjoy. It’s a great weekend away for all the family.
