Killarney Summerfest


The Summerfest is currently on in Killarney so a group of us headed over to have a look at what was going on. We came across a very good street entertainment group called Toot Sweet. The acrobatics were amazing. They are extremely talented and highly entertaining. They encouraged the crowd to get involve and even pulled one man into the act to help out. My niece (aged 9) loved it. Lets hope we see them in Tralee for the Rose of Tralee Festival.

We went back to Killarney last night to see the Outdoor Traditional Art show (8-10pm). We got there about 9.10pm and caught the end of the Spraoí Chiarraí performance which was very good. The music was excellent. When they finished we thought another group would perform as part of the show but no. Maybe due to the weather they decided to cut it short but I have to say it wasn’t raining that badly. So, a bit disappointed. However, if you like traditional Irish music and storytelling I would definitely recommend Spraoí Chiarraí. They are apparently doing a number of concerts around Killarney this summer.
