Street Feast to return to towns and villages in Waterford next month

Street Feast will return to Waterford next month with people in the county being urged to register for their free party packs. 

Street Feast, the national day of street parties and community celebrations, takes place on Sunday 25th June 2023. Participants are urged to get together with your neighbours to share food and enjoy some conversation and camaraderie this summer.

It doesn’t matter if you live in an apartment or house, all you need is a space to bring people together, the organisers say.
 
Johnny Codd, Community & Waterford Marina, Waterford City & County Council said: “Waterford City and County Council are delighted to partner with Street Feast again this year. Community development is a core service in local authorities across Ireland today and events like Street Feast help to cultivate social inclusion and to create vibrant neighbourhoods. Outdoor social events create the most unique and appealing atmospheres for all to enjoy and we look forward to seeing multiple street feasts in all our towns and villages this summer”.

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

Street Feast organisers say parties can range from small groups of neighbours across driveways, in cul de sacs and in front gardens sharing food and fun, to larger community celebrations in parks, nursing home gardens, church grounds, and sports fields.

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 adds: “By hosting a street party, you can create a lasting legacy of community spirit and strengthen your local area. 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,” he said.
