Street Feast is a day of local lunches across Ireland on 14th June organized by people in the community. “ There are lots of good reasons to have a Street Feast, but it’s really just a great excuse to eat great food, celebrate your local community and meet new people who live or work near you” said Madeleine Quirke, CEO with Wexford Chamber and a Member of the Wexford Retail Group.
“Our Street Feast was a great example of how business and community can come together to create something special. Businesses donated food and the local chefs gave of their time to support this family day out. A great success and something that we will most definitely be repeating” she added.
