Street Feast 2010

Feast on this!

Street Feast is a day of local lunches around this great country. The feasts will happen on the 18th of July 2010. They will be set up by YOU and your neighbours, relatives, friends etc. The idea is to get a community vibe going, so that your local town/village/estate will all chime in and take part in a lunch.

There are tons of reasons to enjoy a Street Feast, but mostly it’s about having fun, enjoying yourself, celebrating your local community and connecting with people who live near you.

Your lunch can take place in your garden, at a local club, in participation with a local community group or in the park. You can also just take to the streets and have a big bash there.

So, why don’t YOU get out there and set up a nice big feast with your friends/neighbours etc?


Why have a lunch?

• For fun - It will be good craic to have a party and to meet lots of new people.
• To celebrate the greatness that is your local area.
• To get some action going on the streets and to encourage more community events.
• To shine a light on local communities, networks and clubs.
• To show what can be done when a bunch of enthusiastic locals get together.
• To share and show off local customs, local food, home grown produce etc.
