Spraoi festival to be announced

Details of one of Ireland's brightest summer street festivals will be announced today.

Spraoí will run for two days in Waterford from August 3rd to 5th with a big parade bringing the spectacle to a close.

An estimated 50,000 people are expected to attend over the three days.

This year's theme will be "Yee-haw!!!", a tribute to the old Wild West, featuring covered-wagons, stage coaches and an array of specially built, full-scale western memorabilia.
