Cardiff hosts several festivals dedicated to food and drinking. First of all, this is Cardiff Coffee Festival, which is held at the end of May. This is the time when Portland House offers everyone to enjoy the fabulous taste of coffee, learn more about the secrets of making Welsh coffee, and try various desserts that local people traditionally consume with the refreshing drink. Kids will be super pleased to attend the Ice Cream Festival that takes place on the central streets of the city at the beginning of August. As it is not hard to guess, this event is all about sampling delicious ice cream. Travelers who visit the city at the end of July will be able to attend another interesting event, Cardiff International Food & Drink Festival that takes place at Roald Dahl Plass. This is the right place to try local cuisine and participate in master classes, learning a lot of interesting information about cooking popular food of the region.
In Cardiff, there are also several events dedicated to alcoholic beverages. For example, Gin vodka Festival (it takes place in Cardiff City Hall at the beginning of June), Rum Festival (the event usually takes place in The Tramshed Nightclub in the middle of June), and Cardiff Oktoberfest (just like the namesake event in Germany, this beer festival is held in the middle or at the end of September, and is located in Roald Dahl Plass). Manufacturers from all over the world offer their products at this event, but, of course, local producers get the most attention. Besides a gastronomic program, Cardiff Oktoberfest offers an interesting music program. This is the time when traditional Bavarian music is played in Cardiff.
