TraleeToday.ie’s coverage of the Rose of Tralee International Festival is brought to you by AIB Tralee…
EXCITEMENT is starting to build as we start to roll into the Rose of Tralee festival weekend.
The town was a busy spot on Thursday afternoon as families enjoyed some fine weather along with the events and stalls that were set up around the centre of the town.
The food market on Denny Street was lively with those sampling the many tastes that were offer and provided a nice preamble to the town park where a number of events for kids were taking place.
Family Town was the place to be for young people with loads to get up to. It continues everyday from 12noon to 5pm until Tuesday evening. Scroll down for photos…
