With Re:Play people can soak up the buzzy atmosphere of the streets of Tralee as they hum with a series of day and evening street-busking sessions performed by a colourful and eclectic mix of local and not so local talent.
The Street Performers of Tralee network will present a series of live busking sessions throughout Tralee throughout August and September.
In Re:Cital, each Saturday this August, from 12-2pm, enjoy being serenaded by the sophisticated music of a string trio as you browse a selection of local artwork at the ever-popular Art in The Park exhibition.
Music performed across the road from the Ashe Memorial Hall. Art on display from 11am-5pm each Saturday
