Show 'em how streets should really be used!

Though much of our small city centre in Galway may be pedestrianised, it doesn't mean it belongs to the people. The city centre of galway belongs to consumers and corporations- but not for long!

Saturday 16 May at 1 pm, the streets are yours. Meet us on Shop St, near Lynch's Castle.

This Saturday, we will be taking to the streets, showing them how streets really should be used. Come and bring as many friends as possible. Bring anything you want to share with others- skills (bike repair, art projects, DIY skillz-anything!), music/compilation cds, clothes, plants and other useful objects, whatever you can think of! We will have a really really free market, free food courtesy of food not bombs, twister games, live music, face painting, street performers, and anything else you bring! This is your event, these are your streets!

Its good to remind ourselves what a world without money would look like.

If you are traveling to galway and need a place to stay for the weekend, send us an email at thestreetgig@gmail.com and we will sort you out. If you or your campaign would like to table for the event, please send us an email.

Meet on shop street, 16 May at 1pm, near Lynch's castle. See you in the streets!
