The River and Food Festival in Cardigan celebrates both the local river, the River Teifi and food and drink from the local area.
The River and Food Festival in Cardigan takes place alongside the River Teifi in the space that is normally the Quay car park. Running on Saturday 20th August from 10.00am to 5.00pm.
A lot has changed in the world of food and drink over the last three years and the River and Food Festival reflects this with new enterprises joining old festival favourites, who return once again to represent some of the best independent food & drink producers that Wales has to offer.
There are also many things happening on the river throughout the day.
