IF you’re out and about during the festival next week (yes, it’s starting that soon!), then you won’t want to miss the spectacular Illumination of Ashe Memorial Hall.
This ‘digital street mapping’ is a ten minute presentation at night where graphics will be projected onto the building to form a history of Tralee with surround-sound accompaniment.
The presentation will take place intermittently from 10pm to midnight on Wednesday 17th, Thursday 18th and Friday 19th and will celebrate Tralee’s 800 year history, the 1916 Rising Centenary and 57 years of the Rose of Tralee.

There will also be live music on both ends of Denny Street this year and a stage will be located in front of the Ashe Memorial Hall for the three parades on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday and for the free Garda Band and Willis Clan concerts on Sunday, August 21.
