Fall Designer Fashion Show for Kerry Mental Health Association

What to Expect

The Rose Hotel’s Fall Designer Fashion Show returns on Friday 14 August 2026 in support of the Kerry Mental Health Association, known locally as KMHA. Around 180 guests are expected for an evening built around a champagne and canapes reception at 7:15pm, followed by the fashion show itself at 8pm, with local models showing autumn designer collections through the hotel’s function rooms. The show is a fixture of the hotel’s fundraising calendar and has supported a different Kerry cause each year, with Kerry Cancer Support Group and Kerry Hospice Foundation benefiting in earlier editions before KMHA’s turn this year.

The Rose Hotel is one of Tralee’s larger hotels and a regular host for the town’s fundraising galas and functions, and this show is timed for the run up to Feile Thra Li and the Rose of Tralee International Festival, when the town is already busy with visitors. KMHA provides mental health support services across Kerry, and the fashion show is one of a number of local fundraising events the charity relies on alongside grants and donations, so the evening doubles as a social occasion and a straightforward way for the hotel’s regular guests and Tralee locals to support a Kerry-based charity directly.
