Three South-East Towns in December!

December 2020

Waterford Spraoi toured ten Irish street artists to three south-east towns in December. It was one of the few performance tours by and Irish arts company 2020.

The ensemble visited Wexford, Dungarvan and Waterford. Public reaction was very positive. Many had not seen a live act since March. The artists too were returning to their craft after a long absence from live performances. It was a very special moment on George’s Street when their final performance was completed.

Thanks to everyone who assisted Spraoi to make it happen, especially the Arts Council for its patience and belief in us.

Support your festival

Be a Spraoi Spirit! Donate today.

COVID-19 has not been kind to grandparents, parents, children, schools, businesses or communities. Neither has it been kind to artists, technicians nor Spraoi. In fact, we’ve never needed each other more. Waterford people built Spraoi as an honest expression of our culture, community and sense of fun.

Your donation will be a powerful statement of your belief in the power of the arts in our city and on our streets.

Thank you!
