2026 Dublin Pride Parade: Saturday June 27th.

Each year, over 100,000 people take part in the Dublin Pride Parade: it is the biggest celebration of diversity and inclusion on the island of Ireland. If you are taking part in the parade as an individual or with a group of friends, there is no need to register. This is a free event and there are a number of ways that you can part. You can simply rock up anywhere along the route to watch and join in the march once the groups have moved onto the quays. You can also apply to join in with many of the community groups in the parade. Each year, community groups put out calls for volunteers to help carry banners and flags, or simply make their group in the parade bigger. The parade starts at 12.30 and lasts approximately 2 hours.

Accessibility – We are committed to making Dublin Pride an accessible and inclusive event for all. Some of our current supports include accessible viewing areas at O’Connell Street and a second quiet zone at Custom House, accessible buses and a dedicated support team. For more information, or if you have any specific needs that you require support with, contact community@dublinpride.ie

We believe that community should always come first at Pride. There are no fees for community groups and non-profit organisations planning to take part in Dublin Pride. The first half of the parade is reserved for community groups. If you are part of a community group, please register at the link below.

We believe that Pride is more than a day. The second half of the parade is managed through our Pride At Work programme. This ensures that businesses and companies taking part in Dublin Pride have demonstrated a commitment to the LGBTQ+ community that extends beyond the parade. If you are a business or for-profit company, please register at the link below.

For public service groups, including state agencies, political parties and trade unions, please register at the link below.
