Fanzini Brothers to headline Killarney’s Culture Night
By Sean Moriarty
Circus performers, the Fanzini Brothers, will headline a show at Killarney House and Gardens as part of Culture Night 2021.
Kerry County Arts this week announced its programme of events for the September 17 celebration of Irish culture.
Events will take place all over Kerry and new for this year is a focus on outdoor performances.
The Fanzini Brothers, now based in Italy, are one of Ireland’s leading family-friendly, interactive circus shows.
Formed in 1997 by Tralee men Con Horgan and Denis Butler, they has been a regular feature at local festivals such as Puck Fair and the Rose of Tralee over the years.
Other Killarney shows on Culture Night include a performance by Afro Trad Ireland at St Mary’s Church of Ireland.
Killarney Lake Tours will launch the MV Pride of the Lakes on Lough Leane with live traditional music onboard. The Youth Movement Group will also stage an event in Killarney.
Mayor of Kerry, Cllr Jimmy Moloney, welcomed the recovery of the arts sector in Kerry, connecting with people in new ways.
“Culture Night in Kerry offers us a very unique opportunity to showcase the wonderful talent in terms of music, dance, art, comedy and much more,” he said.
“I would encourage the people of Kerry to get involved in one of the 30 plus free events across the county and support the artists who are emerging back into live performance after a pandemic that was particularly devastating to the arts community.”
Some events will have to be pre-booked. For further details see www.culturenight.ie.
