Rose of Tralee Festival Provides Entertainment for Everyone
The Rose of Tralee International Festival is a very popular event during the summer in the Tralee town and it attracts many people from all over Ireland and also all over the world.
This International Festival is very popular as it attracts over 100,000 visitors each year. This year (2010) Clare Kambamettu from London UK was crowned the Rose of Tralee. The Rose selection is shown live on Irish television and also on the Internet which is watched by families worldwide.
This International Festival has lots of entertainment such as music concerts, fun fairs, fashion shows, circus, markets and street entertainment. The Festival is enjoyed by adults and children as there are so many events to be enjoyed - not just the Rose selection. Women of Irish descent travel from all over the world to compete in this International competition and contestants from the UK, America, Australia, Europe, Middle East, all over Ireland and many more countries try to win the crown of The Rose of Tralee.
The hotel industry including B&B's and guest houses warmly welcome the custom from the festival as many visitors wish to stay while it is ongoing. Over 30 Roses compete every year and they usually bring their friends and family to support them in the competition which is a bonus for the hotels as it keeps them busy during the months of August.
Events and street entertainment are held from morning until night and this continues over five days. The dome where the Rose selection is based is built every year and is transformed into a beautiful glittering ballroom for the Rose Ball which marks the opening of the International Festival. Also held here is the "The Big Party" which is presented by Radio Kerry; music and dance acts are held at the Dome. For example, in 2010 music acts such as Alexandra Burke and Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity performed there.
If you wish to find out information on the festival or how to become a Rose please visit the Rose of Tralee website where you will find information on events, the rose selection and history of the Rose of Tralee which is an interesting read. If you wish to stay in Tralee while the festival is going on you should consider booking very early because hotels and B&Bs are often fully booked in advance. There are many hotels to stay in the town, you will find a range of hotels, B&B's and also guesthouses that suit your needs and expectations in one of the many accommodation websites which are available.
