The Jazz Festival

Ode to the Jazz Fest:

Jazz Fest,  oh Jazz Fest you were pure magic
Your music was wonderful and drinks were fantastic 

Great food, vendors, and street performing galore
Leaving onlookers to shout encore

We'll miss Jazz Festival, you can't be beat
To say it simply, you were such a treat!


The GUINNESS CORK JAZZ FESTIVAL takes place in October each year in Ireland’s Southern capital. According to locals, it is one of Ireland’s biggest arts and cultural events, attracting visitors from all over the world. This weekend, Josh and I enjoyed what the media named the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of Irish festivals.

First night of Jazz Fest.  We went to Waterford, we ended up going there all three nights!

Yum!

One of the many street performers!  They were incredible!

The sea of people and vendors.  There was so much to choose from; jewelery, to baked goods, to actual Mexican food.

In front of one of the many tea and coffee shops that had live bands!

As you can see, behind my handsome husband, is a packed ally way!

Enjoying many of the varieties of beer that Guinness has to offer.  They were the sponsors of the event after all!

Entrance to a beautiful park


One of the bands.  We decided that a Jazz Festival didn't actually mean the bands were playing Jazz music.


These two boys sounded exactly like the Kings of Leon

This was our third time stopping by the Waterford to see our new favorite band, the Three Piece Sweet.  They were incredible!

Bulmers is a cider beer: aka wine cooler :)

He's in heaven!
We had such a great time traveling the city looking for bands and enjoying delicious food!
