Limerick Rose hopefuls to go on tour of county
THE SEARCH is on for the 2023 Limerick Rose to enter this year's Rose of Tralee festival.
On Saturday, April 15, the Limerick Rose of Tralee Centre will be bringing all Rose applicants to a number of local businesses and charities throughout Limerick.
The group will be visiting King John's Castle, People's Park, the George Hotel, Oahu, Dochas, International Rugby Experience and Pressed Flowers by Nell in the city.
They will also visit the Woodlands Hotel and Adare Park in the county.
The entrants will be meeting with local people and businesses to talk about the upcoming festival and show off their style.
The Rose of Tralee International Festival 2023 will take place from August 19 to 23.
The 2023 Limerick Rose will be selected at a gala event in the Woodlands Hotel, Adare on Sunday, April 23.
