The event of the summer.

We brought you the story yesterday that Waterford City and County Council will outlaw smoking, cursing and picking flowers in public parks.

They’ve also banned begging, gambling, behaving indecently, any kind of BBQ, bonfires, fireworks, and anyone with a firearm, airgun or catapult.

What’s left?

The rules will be enforced from August 1 and they will be implemented by the Park attendees and the Gardai.

To coincide with that, a brand new festival has been announced.

The first annual Waterford BBQ, smoking, skating, flowerpicking, model aeroplane flying and cursing festival takes place in The People’s Park on August 1.
