Five days of wellness, connection, and community at Féile Thrá Lí

From Friday 15 to Tuesday 19 August, the Wellness Zone 2025 brought together hundreds of people at Tralee Bay Wetlands for a celebration of health, movement, and mindfulness. From daily morning meditation and yoga to breathwork, reiki, HIIT, Pilates, sound baths, kids events, and our closing Bhakti music ceremony, each day was filled with positive energy, calm and connection.

This was our third year hosting the Wellness Zone and it was made possible through the generous support of Ballygarry Estate Hotel & Spa, powered by a Kia EV from McElligott’s of Tralee, and proudly presented at Tralee Bay Wetlands in partnership with Kerry County Council and Féile Thrá Lí. Sustainability and community were at the heart of everything we delivered.

Event Highlights

- Five days of wellness experiences across meditation, yoga, breathwork, movement, sound baths and kids activities.
- Hundreds of attendees, from first-timers to seasoned practitioners, taking part in sessions they loved.
- Expert teachers and facilitators who shared their knowledge, energy and presence.
- Positive feedback throughout — participants left classes feeling calmer, inspired and connected.
- A community atmosphere where people came for a class and stayed all day.
