THE Feile na mBláth festival got off to a fantastic start on Friday morning, where the focus was on children’s entertainment.
Families and children from Montessori schools from all over town, gathered in the specially erected tent in the Town Park where a Teddy Bears Picnic kicked off the festival.
Later, children from schools around the town were entertained by the famed Ronaldo Fanzini and really got into the spirit of things, before former Mayor of Tralee, Pat Hussey, officially opened the festival (the current Mayor and Deputy Mayor were unable to attend).
In the video below we see why the Fanzini act is so popular with children as Ronaldo gives Sean Lyons a close shave.
