We will keep this list of what’s on in Kerry in 2023 updated with new events as they are announced.
Book Accommodation Early
We advise booking early, especially for big events during peak season. The following events are very popular and accommodation tends to be fully booked quickly:
Rally of the Lakes, Listowel Writers Week, Ireland BikeFest Killarney, Killarney Races (July), Rose of Tralee Festival, Listowel Harvest Festival of Racing, Dingle Food & Wine Festival.
What if I book accommodation and the event is cancelled?
The good news is that many hotels and B&Bs, when booked through Booking.com, offer No Deposit Bookings and no penalty if cancelled right up to a day or two before the scheduled event. If you want Risk Free Booking please ensure that your accommodation is offering these conditions.
