4th of July Celebrations are in full swing in Killarney at the moment, proceedings kicked off at 3pm today at the town hall when newly appointed Mayor of Killarney, John Sheahan, raised the american flag while Paud O'Donoghue and the Glenflesk Male Choir belted out the Star Spangled Banner to a huge crowd who had gathered for the beginning of the celebrations.
At 3.45 a group of drummers delighted the crowds with an awesome drumming demonstration before things got wild at 4pm, and we mean wild! The Wild Wild West Bank Raid took place at 4pm with the bank robbers mixing with the fascinated public.
The always amazing Killarney Scorchers were up next at 4pm on main street to wow the crowds and really live up to their reputation, elsewhere the always Brilliant 3 O's (The O'Leary Brothers, Karl, Derek & Conor) were crooning their hearts out on Plunkett Street ay 5pm before 3 top class Brass bands began on College street at 5.30pm
Don't forget there's so much more going on for the rest of the even in Killarney. The Big Parade is kicking off at 7pm and our own Kieran Healy will be doing some Facebook Live streams from his very fancy car that he's gotten for the day so be sure to tune into that.
Happy 4th Of July y'all!

Members of the Killarney Soroptimist Society visited the Rockmount Care Centre on Wednesday, to present a cheque for €3000 to Nurse Manager Mary Hussey.
The significant sum was raised during the society’s successful annual pancake morning held on Shrove Tuesday at the Killarney Avenue Hotel.
Rockmount Care Centre provides essential support as a dedicated day care facility for individuals living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, serving many clients and families from the Killarney area.
These funds arrive at a vital time, as they are earmarked for the centre’s new sensory garden project, which is currently in the design phase.
Pictured at the presentation are Soroptimists members handing over the proceeds to Mary Hussey. The society extended their thanks to the Killarney Avenue Hotel and all those who supported the fundraiser to help make this donation possible.
