TWENTY FOUR Street Parties are planned in Donegal so far …..with many more set to follow.
It’s all part of the 7th Annual Street Feast Day, which is to be held on Sunday week, June 12.
Street parties are already planned in Killybegs, Castlefinn, Gleneely, Gortahork, Milford, Manorcunningham and Letterkenny and there is still time to organise one in your own area.
Street Feast is an Irish local community initiative and this year is part of the State’s 1916 / 2016 Centenary Celebrations. Street Feast is a not-for-profit, all-for-fun, do-it-yourself celebration.
The initiative invites an individual, or a group of neighbours, or a club, to host a lunch on their street, in a local park or in their front gardens – inviting other neighbours to come along and join them.
It is hoped that in some small way, a Street Feast will bring communities together and help tackle the sense of isolation that some people experience. Everyone is encouraged to bring something along. In partnership with the Centenary Programme, Street Feast is calling on people nationwide to come together at 12.00 noon on Sunday, 12th June to enjoy a bite to eat with their neighbours for a simple and fun way of reconnecting with those that live near them.
Anyone wishing to join the party and support the initiative is being asked to get in touch with Street Feast to receive a free Street Feast party pack (while stocks last). For more information visit www.streetfeast.ie or check out the Street Feast Face book page.
