This bank holiday weekend, Bray Jazz Festival will celebrate its 18th edition. From the 28th to the 30th, artists from Scandinavia, Switzerland, the US and the UK will join local talent in a series of concerts across the coastal town.
Bray’s own Wicklow Wolf Brewery has teamed up with the festival’s organisation to create the Wicklow Wolf Festival Trail, a series of free gigs across selected participating pubs. Each festival evening, you can join this series of selected performances in pubs and bars such as The Martello, Ocean Bar & Grill and The Porterhouse.
Early birds will also find a few afternoon gigs, as shows are on all through the day!
