Spraoi

Spraoi International Street Arts Festival is Ireland’s premiere summer street party. All performances are FREE!

 

Spraoi is the Irish language word for party or celebration. Expect to find Waterford’s medieval streets transformed into free stages where international street performers and musicians provide entertainment from lunchtime until midnight.

The festival attracts audiences of all ages with an exciting programme of street performers, contemporary circus, music, dance, fireworks, and the absolutely unforgettable headline attraction, the annual Spraoi Parade. Hundreds of costumed performers, dramatic floats, live music, sound, light, and special effects combine to create a stunning experience on the medieval streets of Waterford City. The Spraoi Parade is an authentic expression of Waterford’s creativity. The performers come from all walks of life. Once each year they transform into a cast of exotic characters. Followed by fireworks the parade offers audiences inspirational memories of Waterford.
