The Rose of Tralee kicks off August 16 until August 20
As many as 32 Rose of Tralee Escorts have been selected for this year's Rose of Tralee International Festival.Following an interview process in May, the final candidates took part in the 2024 Rose Escort Bootcamp, which included a number of challenges such as fence climbs, sledgehammers, tyre flips and more before a cool-off session in Banna Strand.
"The Bootcamp weekend in the Kingdom is a great team-building exercise that helps the lads to get to know each other first and help them cope with the demands of any Rose! It’s exciting to think that in just two months one of them will be the next Rose Escort of the year." "Being the Rose Escort of the Year can mean many different things to different people. For me, it has changed my life for the better. It has given me opportunities beyond my wildest dreams, given me friends that I can lean on and cherish for a lifetime, and above all, has undoubtedly shaped the man I am today.
Rose Escorts need to be prepared for any Rose emergency and were tested by Kerry Fire and Rescue Service with fireman lessons to be sure they can take the heat this August.
