That was when March 1 coincides with a Saturday or a Sunday.\u201d<br \/>\nHowever, with the cold weather this year there will be around 500 people in the parade, short of the 1,500 people that the parade gets on average each year.<br \/>\nMr Petersen added: \u201cThe Parade is an opportunity for everyone to celebrate our Patron Saint, regardless of religion\/faith or none, regardless of where you are from, regardless of what colour or creed you are, just as long as you wish to celebrate Wales and our Patron Saint.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is an opportunity to celebrate our culture and that may be wearing Welsh traditional costume, waving Welsh flags, singing Welsh songs and playing Welsh music.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Carnival at Chapter<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you fancy trying out beers from North Wales, Chapter is hosting a week-long carnival starting today.<br \/>\n30 different beers from North Wales will feature from breweries such as Cwrw Cader of Dolgellau and Wrexham\u2019s Axiom Brewery.<br \/>\nThe Caffi bar is doing cawl specials (both meat and vegetarian) on Thursday to celebrate the day.<br \/>\nThe week will finish with Canton\u2019s first beer festival on Saturday. Four establishments are pulling together to celebrate what Wales has to offer.<br \/>\nThe Canton Beer Festival is a one-day event co-hosted with St. Canna\u2019s Ale House, The Lansdowne Pub and Pipes Brewery.<br \/>\nEach establishment will host activities with prizes to be won throughout the day.<br \/>\n<strong>Concerts in the City<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you find yourself passing through Cardiff Central Station on Thursday morning you may hear the beautiful sound of the Cwmbach Male Choir.<br \/>\nThe Welsh choir will be singing in the station\u2019s main foyer from 11am for around 75 minutes.<br \/>\nIf you fancy more music in the evening then why not head down to St David\u2019s Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday for an evening of music provided by the BBC\u2019s National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales.<br \/>\nOffering a mix of traditional songs and choral works there will also be a chance for the audience to sing along.
