Ballydehob Jazz Festival is 10 Years old and we are celebrating in style! Since its inception the festival’s programme has grown in standard and stature and every May Bank Holiday Weekend, the West Cork Village has hosted a string of extraordinary musicians and eclectic events. This year we launch our most ambitious programme to date which will secure Ballydehob’s place on Irelands Music Festival Calendar. The 2016 Ballydehob Jazz Festival will run over 4 Days, Friday April 29th through to Monday May 2nd.

Two International Headliner Acts, a free Jazz Trail with over 40 performances throughout the Village, a New Orleans Funeral Parade, an Artisan Food & Craft Market, a full weekend of Jazz Dance Work Shops, all leading up to a swinging Moonshine Party on the final night.

This festival is run entirely by volunteers, a mad bunch of music lovers & festival buffs who share a vision to promote the arts & bring people to the remarkable and unique corner of the world that is Ballydehob, West Cork.
