A PHOTOGRAPHIC collection of images that seeks to encapsulate the essence of Tralee town through the lens of the people who live there has just opened in Tralee.
Organised by Maddens Cafe, the ‘Days Like These’ exhibition at the premises on Milk Market Lane aims to evoke a deep sense of belonging, nostalgia and connection to Tralee.
“Tralee is much more than a physical space however; it is a sanctuary of memories, emotions & personal narratives,” said Rebekah Wall of Maddens. They asked for submissions for the exhibition and received around 250 entries. These were whittled down to the 14 on display upstairs at the cafe.

“For those fortunate enough to call it home, it represents a source of comfort, identity, and cultural heritage. Through the powerful medium of photography, we invited its community members to share their unique perspectives, stories, and experiences that celebrate the diverse meaning of Tralee as ‘home’,” added Rebekah.
The exhibition was officially opened on Friday evening and is open to the public from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday at the cafe.
Maddens would like to express their gratitude to community partners and sponsors, Kerry County Council and Creative Ireland whose support made this project possible.
