The official route map for Cork’s ‘Blaze of Jazz’ parade

What do you get when you mix red-hot jazz with the fiery characters of Cork, and the unique surge of Guinness?

It’s about that time of year again, when every nook and cranny of Cork City comes alive with the sounds of Guinness Cork Jazz Festival, which takes place from Thursday, October 24 to Monday, October 28.

And as Corkonians rush to polish glasses, sweep stages and tune guitars in preparation for the annual arrival of over 1,000 musicians and jazz fans from around the world, all that’s left for you to do is, get your Jazz-hands ready.
