Welsh Language Music Day (Welsh: Dydd Miwsig Cymru) is a music festival founded by radio presenter Huw Stephens. Events take place on the day at its base in Cardiff, as well as previously in London, Swansea, and even as far as Brooklyn and Budapest.[1]

Etymology

Despite the Welsh language having words for music (cerddoriaeth, cerdd or alaw), the colloquial term miwsic, borrowed from the English word music, was used instead to promote the event.
