The annual Wren’s Day celebrations are taking place in Kerry today.

The tradition has been around for hundreds of years and is still going in some parts of the county.

It’s a particular highlight in the calendar for Dingle, where there’ll be parades and people dressed up in straw rigs and other costumes as well as lots of music and fun.
