THE weather held out (for the most part) this afternoon as Féile na mBláth returned to the Town Park.
Deputy Mayor Cllr Terry O’Brien performed the official opening in the Kerry Group Marquee kicking off a weekend of family entertainment.
There was music in the marquee from Music Generation Kerry musicians while outside representatives from Tralee Library handed out free children’s books, encouraging kids to join the Summer Stars reading programme.

The Flower Tents contained amazing floral creations, including many using fruit as an imaginative decoration.
There were food and craft stalls all along the pathway with families enjoying a bite to eat on the benches. A fun first day then and much more to come on Saturday and Sunday. Scroll down for photos…
