I saw a man on a unicycle on a tight rope juggling and singing Somewhere over the Rainbow. All at once.

Can you donate online? I'm not at home but I know how important Spraoi is

The Bowling Alley · 31-07-2016 12:13PM

Morbid and Sons the highlight so far for me. A comedy masterclass that will hopefully get the opportunity to travel around the world.

I just donated 20, a small price to pay for the entertainment I've had from Spraoi over the years.

Amazing fireworks

Perfect view from home

How was the parade ???

Pinch Flat · 01-08-2016 12:40AM

Originally from Waterford but come back for spraoi almost every year. Another great weekend and hats off to all involved as it goes from strength to strength every year.

Parade was great, the standard of the floats was very high. Each one had a nice theme and the attention to detail was super. I watched by the clock tower.

We went back to the car which was parked at "flowers by Rita" to watch the fireworks - the fireworks themselves were great, but we had a group of scobes beside us who ruined it for families - drinking and throwing bottles, general scobe talk with lots of expletives and a complete lack of respect for the families gathered. I was with my brother who said they have family only / alcohol free zones in Galway for similar events, but maybe one to take on board for future years?

First year I missed Spraoi but got in for the parade late with the nephews but crowed seemed bigger than last year so didn't get to see it! Fireworks we saw from the quays but it amazed me that traffic was allowed down it, a hazard seeing the amount of people watching from there.

It's a shame that there were so many youths out drinking as there was a fair share of broken glass most places we went andown people just littered the place with rubbish. No respect.

It was open to traffic immediately after the fireworks to facilitate those parked.

We parked behind flowers for Rita, end of the fireworks show we drove down the quay towards the tower, turned around at the shaws roundabout and came back and up Thomas street there were still barriers at the bridge hotel, so no through traffic. Was dodgy enough with the crowds, perhaps next year they just ban cars altogether off the quays.

There was a bit before and during the fireworks. A bus drove down to watch the fireworks at the roundabout. A taxi came down and eventually did a UTurn. A number of other cars passed through before and during too, including tourists.
