Take in a FestivalDepending on the time of the year that you choose to visit, you can find Choral Music, Jazz, Alternative and much more!
If you're not content with just having amazing live music every night of the week , you'll find a number of festivals in Cork City & County throughout the year! It's not just in the live venues that the magic comes to life, you'll also find street performers roaming the City showcasing their talents and delighting the crowds! We recommend checking out:
- The Cork Jazz Festival takes place each October and showcases the best in local and international talent. The festival has been running since 1978 and is one of the stand-out weekends on the Cork calendar!
- Do you like classical choirs and vocal arrangements? Or maybe you want to see an awkward barbershop rendition of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls"? Look no further than the Cork International Choral Festival!
- Are you into contemporary art and music? Check out the annual Quarter Block Party which aims to present art in unusual locations and transforms the historical quarter of Cork City into an hive of alternative activity!
