The Ballydehob Jazz Festival is back — and not a moment too soon. At a time when the world can feel increasingly divided, the little village at the gateway to the Mizen, is preparing once again to light up with joy, music, circus, creativity, and connection. From May 2nd to 5th (Bank Holiday Weekend), Ballydehob will come alive with an extraordinary lineup of global talent, homegrown creativity, and the kind of community spirit that has made this the biggest small jazz and arts festival in the world.
