DAYS are longer, the weather is warmer and news that tickets to the 2018 Rose of Tralee Dome events are now on sale can only mean one thing – SUMMER IS HERE!
The Rose of Tralee International Festival, the highlight of every summer, will run from Friday 17th to Tuesday 21st August and tickets to the Rose Ball, TV Selections, Fashion Show and Celebration of Roses can be purchased from www.roseoftralee.ie and from the Rose of Tralee APP.
The Managing Director of the Rose of Tralee International Festival, Anthony O’Gara, said: “Nothing comes close to matching the experience of being in the Festival Dome to witness the excitement when Dáithí Ó Sé reveals the identity of the new Rose of Tralee. For months, the Festival Office has been inundated with enquiries from eager festival fans asking when they can get their hands on the much sought-after tickets for the various Dome Events. The Rose Ball sells out earlier each year, while this year’s Fashion Show will have some exciting new dimensions that will be announced in the coming weeks. We are delighted to stage the highly entertaining Celebration of Roses Night once again. This event will do exactly what it says on the tin – celebrate our Roses, their families and our Rose Centres throughout the world.”
