PREPARATIONS are well underway at the Kerry track for their busy racing season which is set to kick off next month.
Ireland’s most scenic racecourse will host no less than four festivals between May and October and the tickets go live today.
Chairman of Killarney Racecourse, Ger Coughlan, commented; “The team here have never been more excited to welcome crowds to Killarney Racecourse this season. The pandemic really had an impact on our business and although racing took place, it’s just not the same here without seeing packed stands and crowds enjoying all the fun and frolics of the festival that are synonymous with racing here at Killarney Races.”

“Many of those coming to the festivals this year will not have been with us for two years and for others it will be their first time. It’s important to note that we’ve been busy working hard behind the scenes to enhance the racegoer’s experience at Killarney Races focusing on offering an unrivalled quality boutique festival experience.”
MayFest takes place from Sunday, 15th to Tuesday 17th inclusive, offering two jump cards followed by an all-flat fixture.
JulyFest takes place from Monday 11th to Friday 15th inclusive with a mix of national hunt and flat meetings across the 5 day fixture. There is plenty of competition off the track also, as Friday 15th will host the Dawn Milk Best Dressed Lady Competition.
AugustFest takes place from Thursday 18th to Saturday 20th inclusive and OctoberFest is a relatively new addition to the calendar at Killarney Races on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of October.
