One of the biggest events is Get Welsh, Food, Drink and Craft Fair in Swansea, which is staged by the South Wales Evening Post, Bid and Swansea Council.
The event is held in Castle Square on Saturday, March 2.
Nick Bradley, cabinet member for regeneration in Swansea Council said: "St David's Day is a special and proud day for all Welsh people and Swansea will be marking this celebration of Wales's patron saint with a range of events across the city.
"Many of these events are free and we hope that our visitors and residents will join in and celebrate with us."
Events will also be held in Neath Port Talbot and Carmarthenshire.

At 4.34pm on Friday March 1, five performers will board a train at Llandovery and perform all the way to Llanelli. in an event called On The Tracks. Mr Marks said: "Six or seven of my clients are performers. I was thinking of an idea to showcase their talents, and came up with this one."
