The annual Spraoi Festival in Waterford is a gem in Ireland's calendar of summer events, taking place over the August bank holiday. For three days the quays, squares and streets of Waterford are transformed into vibrant outdoor stages. A riot of colour, energy and excitement awaits the visitor as Spraoi creates an atmosphere that is unique among Irish festivals.
Set against the backdrop of Waterford's dazzling coastline and rolling hills, this free Mediterranean carnival-style event features performances by top class acts in world music and international street theatre along with an exotic array of performers from throughout the world.
The Spraoi Parade, the company's own production, is traditionally held on Sunday evening and forms the climax of the festival. This year the parade is entitled "Yee-Haw!!!" The event features hundreds of costumed performers, floats, special effects and is followed by a dazzling fireworks display over the River Suir, a fitting climax to a great outdoor spectacle!
And as ever with this Waterford festival, all events are free.
The Spraoi Festival attracts in the region of 180,000 people to Waterford City, with the parade alone having an audience of 70,000.
