This year’s Rose of Tralee Festival is bigger and better than ever and will see some changes to the festival. For the first time ever all 65 Roses who made it through the regional finals will travel to the festival dome for the qualifying selections presented by Dáithí on Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 August.  But only 32 will make it through to the final in the Dome, where they will be live to the nation and the world. The 32 successful Roses will be announced on Sunday 21 August and will go on to appear in the televised selections on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 August all hoping to be crowned the 2016 Rose of Tralee.

Road to the Dome presented by Sinead Kennedy will follow all 65 roses from their arrival in Dublin all the way to the Dome.  From the glamour of the Rose Ball, to the drama of the qualifier nights, Sinead will have unlimited access to life on the Rose Tour, providing us all with a unique look behind the scenes of the competition.  The programme will also capture the big moment when the judges decide which 32 ladies have what it takes to be the 2016 Rose of Tralee finalists.
