Sing Street.
THE Summer Open Air Cinema season is back this year and the first offering in Tralee Town Park is a real treat.
Presented by Kerry Film Festival in association with Féile na Bláth/The Park Festival, the huge comedy hit ‘Sing Street’ will be screened on Friday, June 16 at 10pm. Admission is free.
Sing Street takes us back to 1980s Dublin where an economic recession forces Conor out of his comfortable private school and into survival mode at the inner-city public school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher.

The ‘Summer Open Air Cinema’ programme is in its third year and Kerry Film Festival will be bringing it to stunning parks and locations around the county.

The event is dependent on fine weather, so if inclement weather is forecast, screenings may/will be cancelled. Please keep an eye on social media, Facebook and Twitter.
These Open Air screenings can only operate once it is dark and once the weather is fine.

If you’re planning to attend one of our events this summer, make sure to read the top tips below before coming along. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
1. All films start once dark usually 10pm approx (slighty earlier if it is dark or sometimes a little later if it’s not dark enough), bring a picnic and make a night of it! Gates will be open before the screening but the screening can’t operate before it gets dark. (That is how it is designed!)
2. Don’t forget to bring lots of blankets and warm clothes. As you know, it gets chilly at night so make sure to wrap up!
3. Entry and Exit will be via the Park Gate opposite the Tourist Office on Denny Street ONLY. (This entrance/exit may change for operational needs and we will advise)
4. No pets allowed
5. No footballs allowed
6. If you have a deck chair or camp chair, feel free to bring it with you.
7. Our ‘Summer Open Air Cinema’ screenings are suitable for kids (8+ yrs old) too but must be accompanied by an adult. The onus is on parents to decide if a screening is suitable for their child.
8. Sorry, no alcohol allowed.
9. These screenings take place in Public Parks, so please be good to the environment, respect your town, and take everything home.
10. There is no parking on the grounds
11. Finally, don’t forget the insect repellent! We’ll be among trees and near water so bring something to deter the midges.
The festival reserves the right to refuse admission. Please pay attention to the stewards instructions. They are there for your safety.
