New summer festival announced for Killarney
A new summer festival will take place in Killarney from June 28 to July 30.
The Summer in Killarney Festival will feature street parades, outdoor cinema, live bands, and street theatre. The event is timed to run alongside the Killarney Races, the Killarney Regatta, and the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle.
Festival chair Diarmuid Leen said the event aims to celebrate the town's hospitality and culture for both locals and visitors.
The festival schedule includes street parades and an outdoor cinema night with a SPIN South West DJ will take place on July 20, and a period drama titled 'As Far As The Eye Can See' will be performed in the grounds of Killarney House.
This year's event features a theme celebrating 250 years of Irish-American cultural links, including a John McCormack musical evening with tenor Gavan Ring.
Most events are free, but organisers recommend booking ahead for the outdoor cinema.
The festival is organised by the Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, with support from the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Heineken, Kerry County Council’s Community Support Fund 2026, and Fáilte Ireland. Booking details are available on Killarney.ie.
