DATE: March 1st - Muster TIME: 12.45pm
Parade START: 1.0pm - Route"Os y chi'n caru Cymru, dylech chi fod yna!" | "If you love Wales, you should be there!" About the National Parade in CardiffNOW IN ITS 6th YEAR! - Its purpose is to honour Wales' patron saint David - Dewi Sant and to be an inclusive civilian celebration of Welshness for all who live in Wales from whatever background. It is an opportunity for those who live in Wales regardless of age, ethnic or social background and for those of Welsh descent (and those who quite simply want to be Welsh) to join a dignified and imaginative celebration of civilian Welsh heritage and culture. It is a grand celebration of what it means to be Welsh. Our aim is to transform the national and international perception of St David's Day as a Welsh national day - just as the Irish have done so successfully on St Patrick's Day all over the world - and make the occasion an unashamed and proud celebration of Welshness brimming with enthusiasm, creative energy, new ideas and new perceptions, to make Wales's national day a happy and unforgettable experience for all taking part.

Above politics and petty differences, St David is a peerless, noble figurehead for the Welsh nation, a unifying and benevolent symbol in a dangerous and greedy world. In the Armes Prydain, an epic written more than a thousand years ago, the poet prophesied that in the future, when all might seem lost to us, the Cymry would unite to follow David as their leader: 'A lluman glân Dewi a ddyrchafant' ..... 'And they will raise the pure banner of Dewi' . |

Pembrokeshire Banner | Baner Sir Benfro |
|
|
|
|
The ‘Pembrokeshire Banner’ will be carried in the annual National St David's Day Parade in Cardiff on March 1st. It is hoped that every County in Wales will create a banner for this growing event with its potential to bring in many visitors from all over the world. Bydd ‘Baner Sir Benfro’ yn cael ei chario yn ‘Gorymdaith Genedlaethol Gwyl Dewi’, achlysur flynyddol yng Nghaerdydd ar Fawrth y Cyntaf. Y gobaith yw y bydd pob Sir yng Nghymru yn creu baner ar gyfer yr achlysur yma sydd yn tyfu’n gyflym iawn ag sydd a’r potensial i ddenu llawer o ymwelwyr o bob rhan o’r byd. |
