There's a definite cycling theme this weekend, with the Gower Cycling Festival's closing events tomorrow and then the rearranged British Heart Foundation Gower Bike Ride on Sunday.
If you're feeling energetic then join the Beach Watch team who will be litter picking the beautiful Three Cliffs Bay.
...but don't worry, September is just as packed with great events as the rest.
Next weekend brings the Mumbles Gower OceanFest, with surf and stand up paddle boarding competitions and the opportunity for everyone to have a go at these great sports.
Open House is also taking place, allowing a glimpse behind the scenes of Swansea's well-known buildings, while the Gower Bluegrass Festival celebrates with some foot-stomping musical entertainment, plus workshops.
The Gower Cycling Festival starts on Saturday 10 September too, with 18 guided rides that are graded by difficulty, so dust off your bike and get some fresh air!
Phew, think that's about it for next weekend, but for the rest of the month's events, check out www.swanseabayfestival.com
There are so many events and activities taking place over the final bank holiday weekend, you will not know what to do or where to go first.
Well, let us help you......
Starting on Saturday, why not go for an early morning walk through the beautiful Singleton Botanical Gardens during the final weekend of Botanics in Bloom. From there you can take the whole family to World Party 2011 where you can find live music, belly dancers, Indian and Filipino dancers plus much more. Finally why not head on over to the Brangwyn Hall for the Swansea Bay Beer Festival where you can sample beers from all over the country?
World Party 2011 will be a great day out for all the family
Weather reports are suggesting Sunday will be the best day of the weekend so it would be rude not to spend it outdoors, wouldn't it? Take the family for a stroll down Swansea Prom, having a ride on the pedaloes in Singleton Boating Lake and riding the Swansea Bay Rider along the way. Have a quick round of mini golf in Southend Gardens and then enjoy the Mumbles Raft Race with a Joe's ice-cream. Mmmmmmm.....
Why not take the kids down to Singleton Park for a ride in the pedaloes?
Monday would be a great opportunity to visit Plantasia or Pirate & Smugglers Week at the Gower Heritage Centre. Or for the more cultural side of you, there are many fascinating exhibitions at Swansea Museum, Dylan Thomas Centre and the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery.
For a full list of events this weekend, visit Swansea Bay Summer Festival. Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend.
We are all looking forward to World Party 2011 on Saturday. Swansea will be illuminated by the enigmatic Samba Tawe as they parade through the streets from the city centre to the museum green at the National Waterfront Museum.
There, they will be joined by Indian dancers, Welsh folk music, Thai & Filipino dancers plus much more including headline act H-Dhami who's debut album reached no.1 in the asian charts. Irish group The Porterboys and American country band Ponchartrain will also be in attendance.
There will also be workshops and activities taking place in the National Waterfront Museum itself along with the community marquees.

Taking a walk down Swansea Prom - with the stunning Swansea Bay in the background
Hopefully the sun will be out, so what better way to spend your bank holiday than to take a stroll down Swansea Prom, visiting many of the sites like Singleton Boating Lake and Southend Gardens. Or play a round of golf on Ashleigh Road Pitch & Putt with Swansea Bay in the background? Don't like the idea of walking? Then hop aboard the Swansea Bay Rider Land Train which will take you all the way from Blackpill to Southend Gardens, stopping off at West Cross, Norton and Oystermouth in between.
Have a lovely bank holiday weekend!
