Cork Heritage Pubs City-Wide Jazz Festival Club is back for 2026 — and honestly, this might be the best one yet.
A full weekend of pints, live music and pure craic across the city. This year we’ve mapped out proper Jazz Trails through Cork’s old heritage pubs, so you can wander from venue to venue, following the music wherever it takes you — cosy corners, good company, and a pint never far away.
Expect packed rooms, brilliant live sets, and things tipping straight into mayhem once the night really gets going. Fair warning: seasoned jazz aficionados, this one’s for you.
Over 50 acts, dozens of venues, and all the best beer and gigs Cork has to offer. Bring your dancing shoes and brace yourself — the rest takes care of itself.
Don’t Forget. Follow the trail. You’ll find out more about that later.
Thank you Cork for supporting us.
Whether you’re a lifelong jazz lover or just looking for a new experience, we’re confident we have something for you. As the home of Cork’s top free gigs and best venues, we’re proud to continue our tradition of offering amazing music to our loyal customers—it’s all 100% FREE!
