Waterford Spraoi is partnered with festivals in Scotland, England, and Wales. Together they form the 4 Nations Bursary Project.
It empowers artists from all four countries to create new street productions. Individual festivals mentor and finance their national artists, who then tour to all four events on the following 2024 dates:
- Surge Festival 19th-21st July, Glasgow (partnered by Articulation).
