Street Feast 2022, a national day of community lunches, takes place on Sunday, 26 June. The event is designed to bring neighbours together with the aim of building community spirit and tackling isolation by inspiring conversation and fostering connections.
The happening is run by Neighbourhood Network and is supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development.
Joe O’Brien, Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development and Charities, encourages local communities across Ireland to get involved.
“I am delighted to support Street Feast 2022. Enhancing social inclusion and strengthening communities is at the centre of my department’s work. This presents a fantastic occasion for us to focus on the importance our neighbours, to develop new connections and to enhance existing relationships. The public’s response to the impacts of COVID-19 and more recently, to the Ukrainian crisis, has underlined the importance of such connections and I would strongly encourage people to go along and enjoy their local Street Feast,” he said.
There are over 900 street feasts planned to take place around the country. Details on your local Street Feast can be found: Here
