The Rotary Club of Killarney has announced details of its 22nd Annual Wine and Art Night, which takes place on November 26, at the Great Southern Killarney.

The popular fundraiser, one of the longest-running events on the Killarney social calendar, is organised in partnership with Daly’s SuperValu, Cronin’s Cider and Killarney Credit Union.
This year’s proceeds will benefit a range of local schools and community organisations including Faha, Fossa, Gaelscoil Faithleann, Knockanes, Loughquittane and St. Brendan’s College, as well as Kerry Stars, Killarney Athletic AFC, Killarney Valley AC, Killorglin Family Resource Centre and the Rise & Shine Trust (formerly the Irish Pilgrimage Trust).
Tickets, priced at €25, are available through these groups or at the door on the night. Doors open at 7.15pm, and all ticket holders will be entered into a draw for prizes sponsored by The Scally Collection, MD O’Shea’s, and O'Callaghan Town & Country Real Estate.
Club President Sherry O’Callaghan said the event continues to thrive thanks to the ongoing support of local partners and the community.
“I want to say thank you to everyone who helps make this event possible, our Rotarians, our hosts at the Great Southern, and the many sponsors who come on board year after year,” she said. “Most of all, thank you to the people of Killarney who turn out in such large numbers to support us. Your generosity helps us make a real difference in our community.”
The event also offers a platform for local artists and craftspeople to showcase their work, with some taking part since the very first Wine and Art Night. A limited number of spaces remain available, and interested artists can contact killarneyrotarywineandart@gmail.com.
Among the pieces featured this year are works by artist Tetiana Teslyeva, along with a framed Kerry GAA jersey, kindly prepared by John Treloar of the Killarney Frame Shop, which will be included in the live auction.
The Kerry Stars will operate the cloakroom, the Rise & Shine Trust will host a raffle, and the Kerry Hospice Foundation will have Christmas cards for sale. Music on the night will be provided by Mike Neeson.

Killarney Valley Athletic Club sprinter Sarah Leahy has made history by setting a new Irish Women’s Indoor 50m record.

Competing at the Meeting Indoor Locarnese in Switzerland on Wednesday evening, Leahy clocked a blistering time of 6.41 seconds to take the top spot.
The performance eclipses the previous national record of 6.44 seconds, which had been held by Ailish McSweeney since 2005. Leahy, a member of the national women’s 4x100m relay team that famously set a new record at the London Diamond League last year, has started her 2026 indoor campaign in exceptional form.
Known for her explosive power out of the blocks, the Killarney athlete is now using the international circuit to prepare for the National Indoor Championships.
These are scheduled to take place in seven weeks at the National Indoor Arena in Abbotstown, where Leahy aims to defend the 60m title she has won for the past two years.
It is a busy period for Killarney Valley AC, as fellow club member Maria Murnane travels to Boston next week to compete in the 800m. Murnane is hoping to secure a scholarship in the United States following a highly successful 2025 season for the club, which saw its members secure 46 national and 96 Munster medals.
Local runners are also preparing for the return of the ‘Streets of Killarney’ 5-mile road race, which will take place on Good Friday, April 3.
The fast, flat course through Killarney House and the National Park serves as a major fundraiser for the Killarney Valley AC Arena. Entries are already open, with a strong field expected from across the country.

Kilcummin musician Junior Brother is set to play Mike the Pies for the first time when he takes to the stage at the popular Listowel venue on May 21.

The local artist has built a strong reputation on the Irish folk and alternative scene and released his third album, The End, last September. The record followed a steady rise in profile since the release of his debut album Pull The Right Rope, which was nominated for the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year.
Junior Brother also picked up two nominations at the 2019 RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards, where he was shortlisted for Best Folk Album and Best Emerging Folk Act. His distinctive songwriting and live performances have since seen him share stages with a range of well-known acts, including The Proclaimers and Glen Hansard.
Hansard later invited the Kilcummin man to join him on a tour of the east coast of the United States.
Tickets for the show are priced at €20 and are available through the Mike the Pies website.
