Croeso returns to the city centre
Get ready to celebrate Croeso in association with Tomato Energy from Friday, 28 February to Saturday, 1 March across Swansea’s City Centre. Croeso is a festival celebrating all things Welsh, including dance, music, food, and our native language.
There will be lots of fun throughout the weekend, with live cooking demonstrations, including Georgie Grasso, the 2024 Great British Bake off winner. Over twenty local trade stands will line the streets of the city, plus there is live entertainment, a children’s trail, and not forgetting the St David’s Day parade.
