WHILE the festival is just two days away, if you want to get into the mood there’s two free Rose of Tralee-related exhibitions open right now.
The ‘Gowns Of Glory’ exhibition at Kerry County Museum charts the changing styles over the decades and it’s an absolute must for anyone with an interest in fashion.
The dresses worn by the winning Rose of Tralee are on display in the temporary exhibition room and entry is free during Heritage Week.

The exhibition includes 30 dresses over six decades, from Alice O’Sullivan’s gown in 1959 to the present Rose of Tralee.
Meanwhile, over at Tralee Library, the Rose of Tralee Historical Exhibition is on display until August 31.
The exhibition includes memorabilia donated by past winners of the Rose of Tralee and archive material celebrating the history of the festival.
Some of the 2022 Roses will be at the official launch of the exhibition by 2019 Rose of Tralee Sinéad Flanagan, at 11am on Saturday.
