Rose Festival Tralee 17August 2024

Just after five bands began playing at the Ashe Memorial Hall and also at the Square in Tralee.
During the afternoon took pictures as I walked around the town, they are in the second half of video.
========================
Corkmen topped the list of Rose Escorts for this year’s Festival with six making the shortlist of 32 chosen after a gruelling Rose Escort Bootcamp in Co Kerry, while teaching is the most popular profession among the group.
The men, who already came through an interview process in May that saw hundreds apply for a chance to be part of this year’s Festival in Tralee, had to conquer a number of team-building exercises and endurance challenges before they could graduate as official Benetti Menswear Rose Escorts. This year’s Bootcamp was again supported by Kerry County Council who helped put together a packed programme of activities throughout the Kingdom of Kerry.
