Main Events
Parade.

It’s a march. It’s a parade. It’s a protest. It’s a celebration. It’s community. It will always be the heart of Pride. This year’s parade takes place on Saturday, June 27th. For more information, click here.

Pride Square 1 - Meeting House Square

This is a new event building on the success of our annual Merrion Square festival. Open from Wednesday, June 24th to Friday June 26th, Meeting House Square will be the hub of Pride activity in the city. This is a free event and will feature community information stands, queer artists and crafters, and performances throughout the day. We’ll return to Meeting House Square on Sunday, June 28th, as we mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and take time to remember those who have come before us before closing out the festival.

Pride Square 2 - Merrion Square

Pride Square 2 is a free, unticketed, full-day festival event proudly supported by Dublin City County, the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport and our generous sponsors.

Accessibility Entrance.

A queueing system with bag searches is in operation to enter the park. Once the park reaches capacity, admission is on a one in-one out basis. Queues can be quite long during busy periods, but it tends to go in waves, so if you find the queue is long on arrival, go for a stroll or a snack, and it may subside.

Mother Block Party

On Saturday June 27th, the Mother Pride Block Party is back with a bang for a spectacular party celebrating Pride in our city. Returning to the glorious surroundings of the National Museum at Collins Barracks, with three stages and multiple bars, this is the biggest annual Pride Party on our island!
