Tralee is probably best known for its international festival – The Rose of Tralee. This festival draws people from all over the world to enjoy the festivities and of course, to see which girl will be crowned the Rose of Tralee. The week long festival features fireworks, a carnival, a rose ball, a fashion show, live music on the streets, horse racing and lots more. In 2008, the festival is taking place from Friday 22nd to Tuesday 26th August.
