The city-wide Spraoi takeover is about to begin launching this evening with the inimitable, Los Galindos, bringing their show 'MDR - Death From Laughter'. Tickets are limited and are available from Gladstone St on a first-come. The show (and ticketing arrangement) is repeated on Fri and Sat. A SPRAOI MUST SEE!
This year O'Connell Street plays host to the official Spraoi Heineken Weekender with 3 days and nights of free music and street art while Tully's, Maher's and Phoenix Yard will be on-hand to cater to your food and drink needs while you take in the incredible line-up of live music.

While on the Mall keep your eyes peeled for familiar faces from the WCQ Market with vendors including Crave Cookies selling locally made food on Sat and Sun from 1pm.
And as if that wasn't enough to fill your August Bank Holiday weekend the parade starts at 9.30pm via Johnstown, Parnell St, The Mall, to the Quay and fireworks finale by RocketPyro at 10.45.
Happy Spraoi, Waterford !
