A Vision Network, a Cardiff-based sales and
marketing company, were recently pleased to hear of the launch of the capitals
annual arts festival. The Cardiff Festival, now in its 26th year, aims to
showcase another season of diverse events for local families and tourists.
Organisers and sponsors gathered at St David’s Hotel & Spa in Cardiff Bay
yesterday afternoon to officially launch the packed programme of events planned
for the city.
“The Cardiff Festival is always amazing fun,” said
our source at A Vision Network, “There's so much going on, and it's a great
chance to get out and see the city, and have a fun time checking out all the
events.”
Organisers have planned a total of 21 events for this
year’s festival, which runs for three months from Saturday, June 2 until
September 2. The city will officially celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee as
part of the festival, as well as making the most of the capital’s involvement
in the Olympics.
Cardiff council leader Heather Joyce said: “I am
very pleased to be launching what will be a special Cardiff Festival this year.
I am delighted that there are so many landmark and historic events joining the
festival in my first year, it may be a few years before we have Olympic and
Jubilee events within the programme again. Alongside new and exciting events,
old favourites will return to keep residents of Cardiff entertained and brings
tourists from across the UK and beyond to our fantastic and vibrant capital city.”
Cardiff will host a Big Lunch event on St Mary
Street on Sunday, June 3, as part of the city’s Jubilee celebrations. The city
centre will also play host to full day of music, comedy and sports
entertainment to mark the very first event of the London 2012 Olympic Games – a
women’s football match featuring Team GB on July 25 at the Millennium Stadium.
“It's a real boost to the profile of Cardiff every
year,” said our source from A Vision Network, “People come from all over to the
city to experience the festival, and we hope this year will be no different, as
the festival looks to be one of the best yet.”
