Irish Heritage Sites

Long before carved pumpkins, trick-or-treating, or haunted houses, Halloween was born in Ireland. Known originally as Samhain (pronounced SOW-in), the Celtic festival marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, a time when the veil between the living and the spirit world was believed to be at its thinnest.

Tralee combines everything that makes Ireland special: breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultural traditions, and a warm sense of community. Whether you’re attending a folk performance, surfing the Atlantic waves, or walking through centuries of history, you’ll feel the unique spirit of Kerry everywhere you go.
