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 take part.

Once the parade moves onto the Quays, you can join in anywhere you like. Access to the assembly zones on O’Connell Street is restricted for capacity, but if you would like to join in on O’Connell Street, head to the Purple Zone. This is a public join in point and will start moving at around 1.30pm.

If you are joining as part of a group, we ask that you register in advance. There are no fees for community groups or non-profit organisations joining the parade. Fees apply for businesses and these are used to support community participation in the parade.

COMMUNITY COMES FIRST

The first half of the parade is reserved for community groups and other non profit organisations. There is no fee to enter but we ask that you register in advance. If you need any help or support planning your parade entry, contact parade@dublinpride.ie

Pride At Work Ireland

The second half of the Parade, the Yellow, Green and Blue zones, are for Pride At Work Partners and other worker groups. Businesses that would like to join the parade must first become Pride At Work members. Your position in the parade is based on when you register and pay your fees. The earlier you register, the closer you are to the front.
