The organisers of the annual Wander Wild Festival have unveiled a programme packed with exciting events for this year's outdoor adventure showcase.

The festival takes place from April 4 to 6 within the UNESCO-protected Killarney National Park, offering a unique blend of adventure, romance, and connection with nature.
Here's a taste of what awaits attendees:

Invigorating Start:

Begin your day with a sunrise plunge at Dundag Beach, followed by a rejuvenating sauna experience overlooking the serene Muckross Lake and majestic mountains.

Conquer Carrauntoohil

: Challenge yourself by climbing Ireland's tallest peak, Carrauntoohil. The panoramic views and sense of accomplishment will leave a lasting impression.

Paddle Through Beauty:

Explore the picturesque Lakes of Killarney on a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) session or kayak your way to Inisfallen Island or Ross Castle.
Reconnect with Nature: Find serenity with a forest bathing experience or deepen your connection with your partner through a couples' yoga and breathwork session.

Restore and Rebalance:

Reconnect with your body and mind through a grounding, earth-inspired guided meditation, or learn stress management techniques with a Wim Hof Method workshop.

Candlelit Relaxation:

Unwind and reconnect with your partner during a gentle yin yoga session bathed in soft candlelight.
Sweet Treats and Local History: Discover the sweeter side of romance with a visit to Muckross Creamery, a local dairy farm. Learn about the evolution of dairy farming across generations from a 5th-generation farmer.

Reimagined Date Night

: Enjoy an intimate walk through the National Park, illuminated by nature and guided by a knowledgeable park ranger.
Share Stories Under the Stars: Mingle with inspiring adventurers during fireside chats and share stories under the night sky.
Unforgettable Stargazing: Embark on a romantic hike to one of the world's best stargazing spots and observe constellations, planets, and shooting stars with expert storytellers.

All events are individually ticketed so you can create the perfect weekend just for you or you and your partner. Due to high demand, early booking is recommended at wanderwildfestival.com to secure your spot and create the ultimate love-filled adventure.

Repair works for the Killarney Public Realm project officially commenced on Monday, April 20, following approval from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

This phase of the project, funded by the URDF, focuses on enhancing the streetscape and accessibility of both Main Street and Kenmare Place.
To allow the appointed contractors to carry out the investment safely, a section of the R-878 on Main Street, stretching from Kenmare Place to Plunkett Street, is now closed to traffic. This first period of construction is scheduled to run from April 20 until July 3.
Recognising the importance of the tourism season, the council has confirmed the street will fully reopen from July 4 to October 4 to accommodate peak summer traffic. Following this break, works will resume for a second period starting October 5 and running until December 4.
While vehicle diversions are in place, pedestrian access to all businesses and emergency service access will be maintained throughout the construction phases. Kerry County Council stated that these works are part of a wider programme to improve the safety and quality of the town centre and has thanked the public and local business owners for their cooperation during these essential improvements.
