Tralee set to bloom for Feile na mBlath

TRALEE Town Park will burst from full fun programme at 2017 Féile na mBláth at The Park Festival

‘Dancing with the Stars’ winner Garda Aidan O’Mahony, was on duty with the Mayor of Tralee, Cllr Terry O’Brien and Dan the Lion to launch Féile na mBláth at The Park Festival which will run from June 16 to 18 in Tralee Town Park.

It was fitting that Aidan, one of Tralee’s Community Gardaí, should raise the curtain on what promises to be a delightful community festival in the heart of Ireland’s best large tourism town.

Kerry County Council and Tralee Chamber Alliance have teamed up once again to organise this year’s event which is proudly sponsored by Kerry Group.

Event coordinator, Bryan Carr has put together a packed programme of entertainment which begins with Kerry Film Festival’s open-air cinema screening of Sing Street on Friday June 16.

Over 40 re-enactors from Deise Medieval Waterford will live in the Town Park for the weekend and create a Living History Village with full close combat battles including “Kiddie Vike” fun battles for kids throughout the weekend.

The Park will be a hive of activity with 30 food and craft stalls, emergency services displays, archery, dog shows, fun races, bouncy castles and street entertainers among the many attractions.

The Flower competition is always a huge attraction and applications are still open from Tralee Chamber Alliance. Along with this the Community Garden will host a weekend full of workshops, cook-outs, BBQs and family fun.

The Kerry Group Marquee will play host to Music Recitals, Presentations, Go Kerry trade stands, Sunday morning Mass, Tea Dancing and much more throughout the weekend.
