“We are delighted to be back with the first of our two Summer Racing festivals this July 13th -17th. From hospitality to general ticket sales, we are seeing an uptake in demand for racing in Killarney this Summer. Corporate hospitality is sold out on Thursday and Friday with some limited availability still left for Monday, Tuesday Wednesday. We are also delighted to see such incredible support from the local business community. This July we welcome several new race sponsors which is very encouraging for us, and we look to continue to invest in our race day experience. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for five exciting days of racing”
