Waterford communities encouraged to organise 'Street Feasts'

MORE than 20 Street Feast events are set to take place at locations across Waterford later this month.

The initiative, which takes place on Sunday, June 25 is supported by Waterford County Council and organisers are calling on as many people as possible to get involved.

Registrations for ‘Street Feast' will close this Monday June 19 - ahead of the national day of street parties and community celebrations.

Locals are being encouraged to get together with their neighbours to share food and enjoy some conversation and camaraderie this summer. 

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 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.”

Register and get your free party pack and make sure to not miss out on this fantastic opportunity to bring your community together and celebrate.
