RTE : Spraoi organisers keep show on the road with street art

12 September 2020

The ever-popular Spraoi festival could not happen in its usual form this year but organisers pressed ahead with some spectacular street art and are hopeful that they will be able to stage their planned shows in the coming months.

Normally the Spraoi street parade marks the end of summer and the dawn of autumn for the people of Waterford and others who pour into the city for the festivities, but the restrictions on outdoor gatherings made it impossible to mount the parade in 2020, along with other performances of music, drama and comedy.

Safety

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, it is not possible for Spraoi to bring you the magic of the parade, the spectacle of the fireworks and variety of international street and music acts that you have supported over many years.

You make it possible

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!
