Octoberfest to pack them in for two days

Killarney Races: No racing venue quite like it

The perfect end to a perfect racing season is in store in Killarney this weekend as Ireland’s most spectacular racetrack plays host to OctoberFest – two great days of quality racing, top notch entertainment, fashion and fun.

The final festival of the year in the town is expected to attract a bumper attendance on both Saturday and Sunday with the top names in the sport due to do battle out on the course and the punters to have a great day in the stands and the hospitality suites.

Saturday will be all flat with punters in for a National Hunt treat on Sunday and, with live bands lined up to entertain on both days, there will be a wonderful atmosphere at the course.

The admission charge for adults is from €20, the OAP and student rate is €15 and children aged under 14 will be admitted free of charge.

The racing on Saturday will commence at 1.35pm and on Sunday the white flag will be raised at 1.00pm.
