Eat, drink and enjoy Ireland

In October the usual population of Kinsale, Ireland, swells as lovers of food and jazz visit the picturesque seaside town for the International Gourmet Festival from October 11 to 14, and then the Kinsale Fringe Jazz Festival and Cork Jazz Festival from October 26 to 29.

Kinsale is a half-hour drive from Cork, in south-west Ireland. The town's website lists everything a visitor might need to know. A three-day package is available from October 14 to December 23, which includes choices of accommodation and dining. However, sometimes when special events are held, the package is not applicable.
