The ever-popular Spraoi festival could not happen in its usual form this year but organisers pressed ahead with some spectacular street art and are hopeful that they will be able to stage their planned shows in the coming months.

Normally the Spraoi street parade marks the end of summer and the dawn of autumn for the people of Waterford and others who pour into the city for the festivities, but the restrictions on outdoor gatherings made it impossible to mount the parade in 2020, along with other performances of music, drama and comedy.
