Crickhowell Summer Weekend is set to bring two days of food, music, crafts and community spirit to the town on 27–28 June 2026.

Taking place along Crickhowell High Street, the popular closed-road event celebrates the people, producers, makers and musicians that help make the town such a vibrant place to visit and live.

Saturday focuses on local food, with visitors invited to browse stalls from food producers from across the area, discover new flavours and enjoy a day dedicated to supporting local businesses. Organisers are encouraging visitors to make the most of Crickhowell’s cafés, pubs and restaurants while exploring the festival.

Sunday shifts the spotlight to creativity, with artisan makers and craftspeople filling the High Street with handmade products, gifts and demonstrations.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can also enjoy a packed programme of live entertainment from local musicians and community groups.
