Posted by

TraleeToday.ie’s coverage of the Rose of Tralee International Festival is brought to you by AIB Tralee

The weekend is nearly over but there’s no sign of the fun ending. Here’s a few suggestions on what to do today…

1. Cheer on the Rose 10k runners…

The Rose of Tralee 10k takes place from the Tralee Wetlands at 11am but if you want to cheer them home, get to the finish line this afternoon on Denny Street.

Hundreds of runners have signed up and some are doing it for great causes.

2. Family fun all over town…

Again, the town centre and Town Park will be awash with street performers, children’s entertainers, musicians and more for the day. Don’t miss the fun.

3. Watch the hurling…

Today is All-Ireland hurling final day and what better way to spend it than in Kirby’s Brogue Inn which is twinned with both the Limerick and Galway Roses. The atmosphere is sure to be the best in town at the Rock Street institution.

4. Fashion lovers rejoice…

This year’s  Rose of Tralee Fashion Show at the Dome will feature all the top boutiques and stores from the Munster region, including top Irish milliners.

Famed blogger Erika Fox will co-judge the  Best Dressed Lady at competition and one lucky winner will receive €500 worth of jewellery from Tipperary Crystal, lead sponsor to the Rose of Tralee International Festival and a two-night Serenity Spa Escape at The Rose Hotel, official home to the Roses during the Festival. Tickets are €35 and are still available. The show starts at 8pm.

5. Music of the night…

Again, there’s a range of different styles of music to enjoy but the highlight has to be The Irish Rolling Stones in The Square. Rock out to ‘Satisfaction’, ‘Jumping Jack Flash’ and more.

The pubs have some fantastic entertainment lined up. In the Brogue there’s a trad session followed by the amazing Duchas. There’s no reason to stay at home!
