Trim Midsummer Jazz and Blues Weekend 2026

What to Expect

Over three evenings in June, the medieval town of Trim fills with jazz and blues across a mix of free street performances and ticketed pub and venue shows. Visitors can meander from pub to pub for live sessions each night, or book tickets for dedicated gigs at Trim’s hotels and the Swift Cultural Centre. The festival is within walking distance of Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland.
