KILLARNEY, like everywhere else in the county, is basking in the sunshine this weekend and the town is thronged thanks to the annual Bikefest event.
Ireland Bikefest is renowned as one of Europe’s premier free open motorcycle festivals and is a firm favourite of bikers, aspiring bikers, families, visitors and locals alike.
The motorcycle festival is running all weekend based at the Gleneagle Hotel featuring a line-up of music acts taking in three stages – the Main Stage INEC, the Outdoor Stage in the Bike Village and The Harley® Bar.
Some of the greatest rock tribute and cover bands are performing and photographer Valerie O’Sullivan sent us these images from the festival. Scroll down for photos…
