All Rose Festival Town Centre Entertainment To Be Free This Year

THERE will be no ticketed concerts in the Square this year during the Rose of Tralee International Festival.

Last year there was much criticism — especially on social media — of the paid-for concerts in the Square, where acts like Nathan Carter and Hometown performed and locals without tickets did not have access to the area for a period of the night.

This year though, there will be no such problems as all the street entertainment in the town centre will be free with a great variety of music on the Denny Street stage and in The Square.

Festival-goers who wish to enjoy a party night with the Roses in the Dome can go to a Celebration of Roses hosted by Marty Morrissey on Thursday, August 17.
