The Killarney Advertiser team hosted a very successful family fun day on Sunday which drew a huge turnout from the people of Killarney and strong support from local businesses.

The event was part of Kudos, an initiative that was launched earlier in the year, which aims to bring everybody together and to celebrate local community spirit.

The event took place at the Killarney Racecourse on Sunday afternoon.

The day was filled with entertainment, laughs and lots of fun for the whole family.

Our MC Kieran Healy kept the crowd entertained and hosted the much-anticipated raffle.

The talented young musicians from the Killarney School of Music performed along with the very popular Donal Lucey.

Tony Moore from a Time to Party delivered fun for all ages with bouncing castles, obstacle courses, magic shows and facepainting.

Lily MacMonagle from the MACademy hosted Taylor Swift dance workshops which was very popular among the kids.

Delicious food was served up by the Racecourse Café and the brilliant Fishbox who came all the way from Dingle for the day.

My Secret Balloons, a local balloon company in Killarney, added a splash of colour with their beautiful balloon arches.

Autism Friendly Killarney provided a quiet zone for neurodivergent and autistic children. All raffles and donations were in aid of Autism Friendly Killarney with more than €1,400 being raised for the organisation.

The raffle prizes were kindly donated by the team at Mr Price and spot prizes were sponsored by local Killarney businesses. A huge thank you to everybody who supported us.

We truly couldn’t have done it without our amazing contributors and everyone who came out on the day. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
