The Cardiff Big Weekend took place annually from 1993 to 2011 as part of the Cardiff Festival organised by Cardiff Council.[citation needed] It lasted three days and was billed as "the UK’s biggest free outdoor music festival".[citation needed]
Pride Cymru brought back the Big Weekend music festival and included their LGBT Pride Parade to reform it as 'Pride Cymru's Big Weekend'. Cardiff City Hall's Lawn, also the end of the official Pride Parade route, is the venue. [1]
The Cardiff Big Weekend, which is usually held the second weekend in August as part of Cardiff Festival, was "rested" for a year in 2012 because Olympic football took place at the Millennium Stadium (in Cardiff) on August 9 and 10.[2]
In 2013 the music festival was axed and replaced with a temporary 'Beach' area in Cardiff Bay's Roald Dahl Plass.[3]
