The streets of Galway will be laden down with food and drink this summer as the annual Street Feast celebrations bring people together once again.
Ireland’s favourite community celebration, Street Feast, is back for its 15th year, and this milestone event is set to be bigger and better than ever.
Taking place on Saturday, May 24th, and Sunday, May 25th, 2025, Street Feast invites neighbours across the country to come together for a shared meal, a chat, and a chance to turn strangers into friends.
Established in 2010, Street Feast has grown steadily over the years. Street Feast events are held nationwide, with close to 100,000 people taking part.
Anyone in Galway can register to host their own Street Feast and bring on the craic. Register now and receive your free party pack at StreetFeast.ie complete with bunting, stickers, invites, posters and DIY guide.
A spokesperson for Galway City Council’s Community Development Department said that the council is delighted to be supporting Street Feast again this year.
“Events like Street Feast are a powerful reminder of the simple but transformative value of connection—sharing food, laughter, and stories right outside our front doors.”
“We’re encouraging as many people as possible across Galway City to get involved this May 24th or 25th by hosting their own feast.”
“Whether it’s a picnic in the park, a barbecue on the green, or a potluck in the driveway, it all contributes to something truly meaningful: building stronger, more connected communities.”
In a world where we are more connected than ever, many of us still don’t know the people living next door. That’s why Street Feast is on a mission to change that.
By creating moments that bring communities together, Street Feast promotes social inclusion, integration, and a sense of belonging in neighbourhoods old and new.
In fact, 96% of participants in 2024 say their sense of belonging has increased since their Street Feast.
Natasha, a Street Feast host based in Galway City, said, “It’s a wonderful way to unite communities and breathe life back into our neighbourhoods. It felt like what it would’ve been in our parents’ generation – good craic and wholesome fun!”
“I’m a massive advocate of regenerating community spirit and being actively involved in the communities where we live. Street Feast is a valuable initiative to do just that!”
