OUR  RECOMMENDATIONS

Located in Tralee town in County Kerry this is not only a great festival to attend it is also one of Ireland's most visited parts of the Country. The scenery and tourist attractions which make up "the ring of Kerry" account for nearly 1/3 of all visitors to Ireland from overseas per year. Because the whole area is very busy YOU MUST BOOK EARLY to get accommodation and transport during the main festival week.
