All aboard for one of the most memorable experiences of the summer!
Applications are open for this year’s Rose Es**rts at the Rose of Tralee International Festival, and we’re calling on Irish men from every corner of the country to get involved. Being a Rose Es**rt is about far more than wearing a tuxedo. It’s about stepping into a role that celebrates respect, friendship and genuine connection. Over the course of the Festival, Es**rts play a central part in welcoming Roses from around the world, supporting and becoming part of a team that quickly feels like lifelong friends.
Many who take part say it’s a week that stays with them long after August ends. It’s a chance to build confidence, represent your community on an international stage, and be part of an event that means so much to so many. There’s a unique energy to Tralee during Festival week, and Es**rts are right at the heart of it.
No previous experience is needed. What matters is a positive attitude, a willingness to get involved, and the ability to work as part of a team. If you’re someone who enjoys meeting new people, stepping outside your comfort zone and making the most of every opportunity, this could be for you.
From the Bootcamp to the parades, parties and the live shows, it’s a whirlwind experience that bring together Irish people from all over the world. And in the middle of it all, you’ll be part of something special.
Applications are open now on our website 🌹
