Butetown Carnival 2026

📅 Sunday 30 & Monday 31 August 2026
📍 Cardiff Bay – Wales Millennium Centre, Pierhead Building & Senedd Steps
🎟 FREE ENTRY

This August Bank Holiday is Butetown Carnival 2026 - two unforgettable days of music, dance, art and celebration in the heart of Cardiff Bay.

The celebrations begin at 12.00 noon on Sunday 30th August with a spectacular Carnival Parade, assembling outside Butetown Health Centre, Bute Road (CF10 5HR) which will make its way through Butetown to Cardiff Bay. The parade culminates at Wales Millennium Centre, where celebrations continue across the Senedd Steps, Pierhead Building and the waterfront.

Expect vibrant costumes, giant puppets, powerful rhythms, live music, dance and hundreds of performers filling the streets with colour, creativity and joy.

Butetown Carnival is more than a festival—it is a celebration of identity, creativity and belonging. Every costume made, every rhythm played, every dance shared and every smile along the route becomes part of our community’s story.

Everyone is welcome, so come down and join the celebrations this bank holiday weekend🎉❤️

Butetown Carnival is produced by BACA ❤️

Carnifal Butetown 2026

📅 Dydd Sul 30 a Dydd Llun 31 Awst 2026
📍 Bae Caerdydd – Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru, Adeilad y Pierhead a Grisiau’r Senedd
🎟 MYNEDIAD AM DDIM

Gŵyl y Banc ym mis Awst yw Carnifal Butetown 2026 - dau ddiwrnod bythgofiadwy o gerddoriaeth, dawns, celf a dathliad yng nghanol Bae Caerdydd.

Mae’r dathliadau’n dechrau am hanner dydd ddydd Sul 30 Awst gyda Parêd Carnifal ysblennydd, gan ymgynnull y tu allan i Ganolfan Iechyd Butetown, Heol Bute (CF10 5HR) a fydd yn gwneud ei ffordd trwy Butetown i Fae Caerdydd. Mae’r orymdaith yn cyrraedd uchafbwynt yng Nghanolfan Mileniwm Cymru, lle mae dathliadau’n parhau ar draws Grisiau’r Senedd, Adeilad y Pierhead a’r glannau.

Disgwyliwch wisgoedd bywiog, pypedau enfawr, rhythmau pwerus, cerddoriaeth fyw, dawns a channoedd o berfformwyr yn llenwi’r strydoedd â lliw, creadigrwydd a llawenydd.

Mae Carnifal Butetown yn fwy na gŵyl—mae’n ddathliad o hunaniaeth, creadigrwydd a pherthyn. Mae pob gwisg a wneir, pob rhythm a chwaraeir, pob dawns a rennir a phob gwên ar hyd y llwybr yn dod yn rhan o stori ein cymuned.

Croeso i bawb, felly dewch i lawr ac ymunwch â'r dathliadau penwythnos gŵyl y banc hwn🎉❤️

Cynhyrchir Carnifal Butetown gan BACA ❤️

Dechreuodd ein tiwtoriaid Henry Horrell a Sarah Zyborska gyda fersiwn araf o'r gân, i bawb ei dysgu a'r nod yw cyflymu'r tempo yn ddiweddarach.

A lovely session at our Clwb Alawon Cymraeg at Neuadd Ogwen last week! It was great to see the range of ages learning Migildi Magildi❤️

Our tutors Henry Horrell & Sarah Zyborska started with a slow version of the song, for everyone to learn and the aim is to speed up the tempo later.

It was brilliant to see so many Welsh learners singing in Cymraeg! 🥹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

Clwb Alawon Cymraeg is FREE to attend due to generous funding from Ty Cerdd’s Cronfa Tradd Fund, supported by Arts Council Wales. We are so grateful for your support🫶🏻
