Pride Parade in Dublin

Tens of thousands are expected to take to the streets of Dublin to mark the city’s 26th annual Pride parade.

This year’s theme is Rainbow Revolution, and organisers are predicting it will be the biggest and most colourful Pride parade ever seen in Dublin.

The parade will start on O’Connell Street at 1pm and will move on to Eden Quay and pass Liberty Hall, where the first large-scale march for LGBTQ+ rights in Ireland began in 1983.

It will then cross the Liffey at Talbot Bridge, move along City Quay toward Westland Row and end with a free outdoor event in Merrion Square until 7pm.

The parade is one of the biggest free events in the country and will be led out by more than 70 LGBTQ+ organisations and community groups, although everyone is being invited to join in or just come along to watch.
