Last call for 2026 Kerry Rose applications
Time is running out for those wishing to represent Killarney and the county in this year’s Rose of Tralee International Festival.
The Kerry Rose Centre has confirmed that the final deadline for applications is fast approaching, with entries set to close this Easter Monday, April 6.
The 2026 Kerry Rose Selection night will take place at the Heights Hotel Killarney on Saturday, April 18.
The event will see entrants from across the county vie for the opportunity to succeed the outgoing Kerry Rose, Laura Ní Dhálaigh, and represent the Kingdom at the festival in August.
Several Killarney contestants have already been confirmed for the selection night. These include Laura Whelton, representing the Killarney Regatta; Megan Graham, representing the O'Donoghue Ring Collection; and Carlise Caffrey, representing MacBee’s.
Suzan, the Kerry Rose Centre Coordinator, is encouraging anyone interested in taking part to get their applications in over the holiday weekend. The selection process offers local women a chance to represent their communities and potentially take to the international stage in the Dome.
Prospective entrants or businesses interested in sponsoring a candidate can also contact Suzan at kerryrosecentre@roseoftralee.ie to receive more information or an application form before the Monday night deadline.
