Bird’s funfair say thanks to the people of Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
Bird’s Euroshow Funfair has thanked the people Killarney for their support during the funfair’s annual visit to Killarney.
The travelling funfair took up its usual position in the Fair Hill car park on July 3.
It marked the return of the funfair to Killarney after the pandemic forced its cancellation last year which brought an end to an unbroken 83 years run in the town.
The family funfair returned this year under strict COVID-19 rules and without the large numbers of people usually associated with Killarney summer events like the 4th of July Festival and the Ring of Kerry Cycle.
“We were delighted with the feedback and welcome we got this summer and we thank the people of Killarney for this,” Don Bird, grandson of founder of William Bird, told the Killarney Advertiser.
The funfair left Killarney on Saturday last. It will operate in Killorglin until Sunday, taking up its traditional Puck Fair slot.
On Monday next (August 16) the funfair will move to Tralee and operate in the Brandon Car Park. The Rose of Tralee International Festival should be taking place next weekend in the county town but has been cancelled for the second year in a row.
