Cork LGBT+ Pride Festival

Cork’s LGBT+ Pride Festival takes place from July 30 to August 6. 

Things are kicking off this year on July 30. Pride On Tour will be taking place from 12pm to 4pm. Cork Pride will take to the roads of County Cork to lead a drive through parade through Mallow, New Twopothouse, Doneraile, Buttevant, Charleville, Mitchelstown, Fermoy, and finishing in Glanmire.

This year’s Cork Pride has some promising family friendly events happening across the weekend, and one that’s not to be missed, by the LGBTQ+ community and dog-lovers alike, is the Family Fun Day & Dog Show at Fitzgerald’s Park on Saturday August 5, from 12pm to 6pm. which promises to be “day filled with laughter, bouncy castles, face painters, balloon artists, zumba and carousel,” 

The main events are on Sunday, August 6.

Cork’s Pride Parade will take place in Cork City from 1-3pm that Sunday, which, as always, will be one of the highlights of the week for many.

Cork Pride Party at the Port runs from 3pm-8pm - at the Port of Cork, Kennedy Quay, featuring live performances from Wild Youth - Ireland’s Eurovision Song Contest entry- and many more.
