Abbey Inn Festival

THE Saturday night parade always ends with a bang and this year was no exception as the sky was lit up with fireworks.

DJ Brian Hurley also got the Roses, Rosebuds and Escorts dancing in front of the massive crowd on Denny Street as the video below shows. They sure can move!

Also scroll down for loads of photos from the night.

Just MAGIC a dream come true I have got to say I will cherish this unbelievable experience for the rest of my life . I can not put in to words how i feel . Thank you Jackie O Mahoney our dancing teacher for making my dream come true You truly are an amazing women and thank you Tralee Today for your video as I am in it and can send the link to my sons in London .
