Be part of the movement this October bank holiday weekend – October 28th-31st – and join the vibrant mix of more than 40,000 musicians and music enthusiasts flocking from all over the world to one of Europe’s premier jazz events: the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.
Held every year since 1978 and hailed as Ireland’s biggest jazz event, it’s attracted some of the biggest names in the industry, from the legendary Ella Fitzgerald to the iconic Herbie Hancock. With red-hot street music from six colourful groups, a series of free workshop-style Jazz Camps and performances in over 70 spectacular venues across the city (most of which are free admission), for one weekend only, the music doesn’t stop!
And with some of the city’s most desirable hotels in on the action, from hosting their own exclusive live music performances and laidback decadent Jazz Brunches, you’ll never miss a beat.
