Nestled in the heart of Kerry, Tralee is renowned for its vibrant community, beautiful parks and rich cultural heritage. At the centre of the town lies the award-winning Town Park, a beloved gathering place where locals and visitors come together to enjoy nature, events and family activities throughout the year.

This June, the park comes alive once again as Féile na mBláth – Tralee Park Festival celebrates its 21st anniversary, bringing three days of free entertainment, floral displays, music, culture and family fun to the heart of the county.

Féile na mBláth 2026: Celebrating 21 Years of Community

From 12th–14th June 2026, Féile na mBláth – Tralee Park Festival returns with an exciting programme of events for all ages.

Floral Displays at the Heart of the Festival

The centrepiece of Féile na mBláth remains the spectacular Flower Marquee, where visitors can admire stunning floral arrangements and displays created by members of the Tralee Flower & Garden Club. The annual competitions showcase creativity, craftsmanship and a passion for gardening that has become synonymous with the festival.

The floral displays are organised by the Tralee Flower & Garden Club, which was founded in 1982 and has been inspiring a love of flowers, gardening and floral art in the local community for over four decades. The festival's Flower Marquee features a wide range of competition categories, showcasing creativity, skill and imagination across floral design and horticulture. A special children's competition encourages younger participants to get involved, making the exhibition a true celebration of talent and creativity for all ages. The club continues to welcome new members and holds monthly meetings on the third Monday of each month at the Meadowlands Hotel, Tralee.

Visitors can wander through colourful exhibits, attend demonstrations and gather inspiration for their own gardens while celebrating the beauty of nature in bloom.
