The Buzz -- Get your appetite up for Cardiff's annual International Food & Drink Festival, part of the summer Cardiff Festival. On Roald Dahl Plaas on Cardiff Bay, stalls are set up selling food from all over the world, including France, Germany, Norway and Italy as well as – of course! – Wales. There are cookery demonstrations from chefs and musical entertainment on the bandstand. Great for just browsing as well as serious food shopping!
