Dublin Pride 2023 Dublin

Info

Dublin Pride takes place over from the 20th to 25th June 2022.

The Dublin Pride Festival runs from June 20th to 25th, however the whole month of June is Pride with a calendar full of events and activities for the LGBTQ+ community and our allies.

Parade
24th June, from noon. Starts at O’Connell Street.
The Pride Parade is a celebration of LGBTQ+ people and culture, the highly visible spectacle of the parade plays an important role in promoting diversity, inclusion and belonging within society. It’s an opportunity to showcase the many LGBTQ+ organisations working within our community, along with allay groups who take a visible stand in support of LGBTQ+ people. Since the first Dublin Pride Parade in 1983, it has grown to become one of the most popular and loved events within the city and continues to change the hearts and minds of many people. This year as we mark the 40th anniversary of the first Dublin Pride Parade, we have a number of enhancements to improve both the visible impact of the Parade and its flow and movement. These include, for the first time ever, the use of the entirety of O’Connell Street (both sides) for the Parade assembly. We have also agreed a temporary closure of both the Red and Green LUAS so that priority is given to the Parade. Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the first Dublin Pride March (yes, we have two birthdays) and we will carry out a full review of the Parade route itself, taking into account visibility, accessibility and crowd safety.

Festival
Pride Village – A full day festival in Merrion Square on Saturday, June 24th. This is a free event suitable for all ages and is supported by Dublin City Council and our festival sponsors.
