“Now that the works in Tralee town centre have been completed, we are inviting people to come along to a day of fun and entertainment to celebrate the newly upgraded town centre,’ said Mayor of Tralee, Cllr Norma Foley. ‘The Mall and Denny Street now look exceptionally well and the part-pedestrianisation of The Mall is proving to be very popular. This celebration promises to be a very enjoyable day for everyone.’
Aidan Kelly, President of Tralee Chamber Alliance said: “This is a great opportunity for anyone who hasn’t yet visited Tralee town centre to visit on Saturday and enjoy the wonderful ambience and great quality shops. It’s a good opportunity to shop local and support local businesses at the beginning of 2018.”
