There’s also beat the goalie, a Bonny Baby competition, an art and craft competition and loads more fun.
The Fair will provide a platform for local businesses to display their goods to the public and for the promotion of local culture including music, dance, home crafts, horticulture.
It will also host a wide range of classes for cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and a dog show, and the popular equestrian competitions. Approximately €30,000 is paid out in prize money across the wide range of classes on the day.
The show also enjoys the full support of Tralee Chamber Alliance and the local branches of Macra Na Feirme. Each year the show offers a charity an exclusive fundraising opportunity at the show.
This year’s chosen charity is the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. This year as a gesture of friendship and solidarity the organisers are inviting the Ukrainian families who are currently staying in the nearby Earl of Desmond Hotel to come and enjoy the show as their guests.
Children under 12 go free with adult tickets costing €15 at the gate. However, discounted tickets are available for €10 on eventbrite by clicking here.
