The Laya Healthcare City Spectacular (formerly Street Performance World Championship) is an annual street performance competition, jointly hosted by Cork and Dublin in Ireland.
History
The City Spectacular opened in 2006, and takes place over three days in mid-June[1]. It is run entirely by volunteers from across Ireland.
On the weekend of the 18th and 19th of June, 2011, a new world record[citation needed] was set for the largest gathering of real-life Where's Wally's at an event outside Merrion Square in Dublin[2]. This event was arranged by the organizers of the City Spectacular as a fundraising effort, after their then-sponsor had terminated their contract[citation needed].
Since 2012, Laya Healthcare has sponsored the City Spectacular.
