The Parade
Dublin Pride is one of Ireland's most joyful public celebrations — a parade through the city centre that draws hundreds of thousands of participants and spectators, reflecting the remarkable transformation of Irish society in the decade since marriage equality was passed by popular vote in 2015.
Pride Week
Dublin Pride Week extends beyond the single parade day to include community events, cultural programming, and parties across the city's LGBTQ+-friendly venues. The George on South Great George's Street — one of Europe's oldest continuously operating gay bars — is the emotional hub of celebrations.
Dublin in June
June in Dublin is long-eveninged and (relatively) warm — the light lasts until after 10pm, and the city's pub culture combines with the Pride atmosphere to create an exceptionally welcoming and sociable experience.
