Last weekend, Cork was alive with the sounds of the Guinness Jazz Festival, Ireland’s biggest jazz event, which since 1978 has brought together renowned musicians and emerging talent. This festival is a unique chance to immerse in local culture and witness Cork’s strong connection to music and the arts.
Over 90 venues across the city, from theatres to bars and streets, host a wide variety of jazz, funk, and blues styles. This diversity allows students to experience a full cultural immersion as they explore Cork’s festive atmosphere and discover new music genres in an accessible and lively environment.
Iconic spots like The Old Town Whiskey Bar at Bodega and Arthur Mayne’s turn into perfect venues to enjoy jazz and socialise in an authentic setting. These pubs reflect Cork’s warmth and offer students a chance to feel part of the local community.
Between concerts, restaurants like The Glass Curtain and 51 Cornmarket offer a taste of local cuisine based on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Cork’s gastronomy is a part of its cultural identity, giving students the chance to enjoy unique dishes as they rest and prepare for another night of jazz.
The Cork Jazz Festival is more than a musical event; it reflects the rich cultural life of the city. For students, it represents a chance to live in a vibrant community, experience its culture, and grow academically and personally in a creative and welcoming environment.
