The festival, which hopes to attract over 4,000 adventurers to Killarney next March, supports 32 local activity providers and over 30 other local suppliers from graphic designers to transport operators. The festival committee is encouraging people to support these local businesses and the local economy by purchasing gift vouchers for next year’s festival.
The unique adventure and wellness festival set in the lakes and mountains of Killarney National Park will take place from 22-24th March 2024. The programme which will be officially launched in the coming weeks, has grown with new exciting additions for the body, mind and soul to be announced! .

Pat Chawke, Wander Wild Festival Chairperson, said, “The festival supports over 60 local businesses, the majority of which are small businesses, from one man operations upwards. Every booking and sale is so important to them and to our local economy. Wander Wild is about offering adventure and new experiences to visitors to Killarney - what better guides to have than locals. You can support them, their businesses and the festival by purchasing a gift voucher or by booking an activity for next year’s festival.”

So this Christmas, support local and pick up a Wander Wild gift voucher on wanderwildfestival.com.

Wander Wild Festival is sponsored by Nature Valley and supported by Fáilte Ireland, Kerry County Council and Killarney Chamber of Commerce.
