THERE’S just a week to go until this year’s Féile na mBláth at the Park Festival and the full programme of events has just been released.
It promises to be a fantastic weekend from June 16-18, with a host of free entertainment laid on at the Town Park and surrounding areas, thanks to the support of Kerry County Council/Tralee Municipal District (see full programme below).
This year’s Festival will see three themed days with Friday coinciding with Bloomsday, the traditional celebration of James Joyce’s Ulysses with a day filled with literature, art, jazz and costumed characters kicking off with free workshops for all local Schools culminating with an evening performance of readings and songs from yesteryear entitled ‘Just a Song at Twilight’ taking place in the Kerry Group Marquee.
