Bray Jazz Festival is an international music event weekend that takes place in the North Wicklow seaside town on the May Bank Holiday weekend of each year.

Established in the Millennium year, the festival has hosted performances by artists at the very cutting edge of contemporary jazz from at home and abroad - including performers from across Europe, the United States, South America, Africa and the Far East.

The festival was started with funding support from the National Millennium Committee and from other public and private sector backers. It is currently supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, the local authorities of Wicklow and Bray, Failte Ireland (the Irish tourism board) and by local business.
