AROUND 1,300 people converged on the Festival Dome last night for the social highlight of the year in Kerry.
Guests enjoyed a champagne reception and a host of entertainment, including brass bands, fire dancing and the Swingabella singers, before the delicious meal and more music after until the wee hours.
Of course the style was amazing as we discovered when we captured some of the guests as they arrived. Scroll down for the first part of our photo coverage. We’ll have more later and on Sunday…
