One of the highlights of the week-long event was the arrival of several of the 2022 Rose of Tralee contestants and their Escorts.
Wednesday’s evening meeting offered the ideal opportunity to meet and mingle with roses from all over the country and all across the globe in a fun and relaxed setting.
Ciaran Wyrnn entertained on the lawn before and during racing, as Super Céilí got the crowd on their feet in the Jim Culloty Bar after racing.
The Monday Club, widely regarded as a day of relaxation or leisure for those involved in the hospitality industry all across the Kingdom, and the team at Killarney Races embraced this concept as their theme on the opening day of the festival.
Family Fun Tuesday was a great evening for all the family which included an action-packed arts and crafts station to entertain junior racegoers.
Thursday was a big day for race fans with seven national hunt races on the evening card.
Friday is Dawn Milk Ladies Day when ten lucky ladies and gents will be selected by celebrity judges Anna Daly and Aidan O’Mahony.
“There's always beautiful style in Killarney and for me it's about women who know what works for them rather than dressing for fashion's sake,” said Anna. “ I love to see a beautifully dressed woman enjoying herself and able to move in her stylish clothes and walk in her heels and I've no doubt there'll be plenty of those elegant ladies in Killarney this July.”
