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.
It Starts with Hello
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.
Why Host a Street Feast?
Street Feast is about bringing people together to share food, conversation, and camaraderie. Whether you live in an apartment, house, or shared space, all you need is a location – a front garden, a street, a green, a car park, a laneway, or a community centre – and a desire to connect with your neighbours.

Join the Movement
Street Feast Co-Founder and Neighbourhood Network CEO Sam Bishop says: “Every year, thousands of neighbours pass each other by without ever saying hello. We want to empower people to change that. By hosting a Street Feast, you can help make your neighbourhood a happier, healthier and more connected place. Over the last fifteen years, Street Feast has facilitated 750,000 community connections across every county on the island of Ireland. Our mission is to reach 1 million connections by 2030.”
Street Patron and President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins says: “We must all by now realise the importance of community, inclusion, creativity and togetherness – all values that require support and a conscious effort of care, protection and solidarity. Initiatives such as Street Feast provide exactly that type of opportunity.”
Street Feast is made possible thanks to the generous support of the following campaign partners; the Department of Rural and Community Development; the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, and Youth; the Local Authorities; Dr Oetker Ireland and other promotional partners.
