SPRAOI INTERNATIONAL STREET ARTS FESTIVAL
August 2nd - 5th 2012
Spraoi International Street Arts Festival transforms the streets and squares of Ireland’s oldest city into a series of giant stages. Street-theatre artists and musicians from around the world create three days of stunning entertainment and virtually all events are FREE.
The programme starts daily around lunchtime and runs late into the night. A highlight is the annual Spraoi Parade where hundreds of costumed performers, giant floats, live music and special effects combine to create a wonderful cultural experience.
The Guardian newspaper described Spraoi thus:
“Spraoi festival is a free urban festival in beautiful Waterford in the south-east of Ireland. It attracts nearly 100,000 people and the city streets act as a stage for acts from around the world.” The Guardian (UK Edition)
