Dublin Pride 2024 Dublin

Info

Dublin Pride takes place over from the 28th to 30th June 2024.

The first LGBTQ+ group in Dublin, The Sexual Liberation Movement, was established in Trinity College, it organised a march in June 1974 to protest the laws criminalising homosexuality in Ireland. While the term Pride had not yet become popularised, and it would be several years before Dublin had an organised Pride movement, this is generally accepted as the first Dublin Pride march. By the late 1970s, the National LGBT Federation had begun to organise an annual Dublin Pride week that included events in the Hirschfeld Centre and a picnic in Merrion Square.

Parade
Saturday the 29th, from 12:00, and 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. This year, as we mark the 41st 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.
