Donegal to host 17 Street Feasts this Sunday, June 25.

Fancy hosting a street party and help create a lasting legacy of community spirit and strengthen your local area?

If you do then you ought to hurry as registrations for Street Feast 2023 will close today Monday, June 19 in time for the national day of street parties and community celebrations, which takes place on Sunday, June 25.

The idea is to get together with your neighbours to share food and enjoy some conversation and camaraderie this summer. 

To date, 17 Donegal Feasts have been registered and organisers are calling on Donegal residents to get involved and meet their neighbours.

Speaking about the event, Founder of Street Feast, Sam Bishop, said: "We have had feasts organised in front gardens, on streets and greens, in car parks, laneways, local parks and community centres and can’t wait to see what you come up with! Knock on one door - that’s all it takes to get started.” 

Sam added: "This is a great opportunity for people to get together with their neighbours and celebrate all that is great about their community. We want to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and make this a day to remember."

Sam advises people to start small and to keep it simple. He urges organisers to get in touch with the Street Feast team for help,

“Street Feast hosts are supported in planning their feast, and we have great ideas for overcoming any challenges that might come up. Let’s get planning together.”

Minister of State for Community Development, Integration and Charities Joe O’Brien added: “The Department of Rural and Community Development are delighted to be the core funder of Street Feast 2023.

"Street Feast enables important connections to be made at community and neighbourhood level. It's not just the day of Street Feast that's special; in the weeks that follow it we're sure we'll see more people getting involved in community projects they would never have heard about if it wasn't for attending their local celebration.”

Register and get your free party pack at StreetFeast.ie today Monday, June 19 and don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to bring your community together and celebrate.
