If your in town tomorrow (Wednesday 3 August) about 1pm keep an eye out for a flashmob type dining feast on one of the bridges over the River Liffey. The exact location will be revealed via text, twitter (@streetfeast) & facebook an hour before the feast.
The ‘flash fest’ is to mark the launch of the second annual Street Feast day, a new nationwide event to celebrate community on Sunday 28th August.
Street Feast isn’t any old shindig. It’s a not-for-profit, all-for-fun, do-it-yourself celebration.
Street Feast is a neighbourhood street party that is hosted by us and our neighbours, and happens in communities all over Ireland at the same time.
More info about tomorrow’s Flash Feast on the Facebook event page here and the actual Street Feast on 28th August on their website.

As a kid in the early ’90s we use to have these street parties. The neighbours would gather once a year and set out tables with food and “minerals”. Looking back it was great to see that community spirit which unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore, I think it was stopped due to legal issues about playing music late at night. Funny, I think we had another ‘fine’ tradition show itself at that time, that of faction fighting when the older kids were asked to block the top of the cul-de-sac to stop the kids from the other cul-de-sacs from entering!
