Cannonball Supercar event to visit Killarney this September
The Cannonball supercar road trip will return to Kerry this year, with confirmed stops in both Killarney and Tralee.
The 2025 edition of Cannonball takes place from September 12 to 14 starting at the Johnstown Estate in Enfield and visiting towns and counties across Ireland, including Ballymaloe, Clare, Sligo, Cavan and Naas, with exact timings and routes for the Kerry stage to be announced soon.
Cannonball is the largest organised road trip in Europe, attracting more than 200,000 spectators and featuring high-performance vehicles from Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Aston Martin and more.
The event is a major fundraiser for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
The Kerry leg of the journey is expected to draw large crowds as the event brings its unique blend of cars, music, entertainment and fancy-dress festivities to the streets of Tralee and Killarney.
Local businesses and tourism are set to benefit from the visit, with a strong economic boost estimated in previous years.
Further details on the route and stop times in Tralee and Killarney will be confirmed by Cannonball organisers in the coming weeks.
