Celebrate Swansea’s cultural and ethnic diversity and enjoy dance, choirs, local bands and workshops, busking, cooking demonstrations and entertainment in the City Centre this March 4th.
Many communities make up the diverse community that is Swansea, and the events will focus on bringing people together to celebrate Swansea and what it means to us all as individuals and together – whether a Jack by birth or habit; disabled; young; or old; whatever our sexual orientation, beliefs, language or abilities.
