If it’s your first time coming to Dublin Pride, there is no need to worry about where to go or what to do. This guide outlines what to expect in terms of events and activities, along with some practical tips to keep in mind. Many people’s first experience can be nerve-wracking as it can be a big step outside of your comfort zone, though there is plenty of excitement to be had at this uplifting celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.

Not only is there a fabulous parade, but there are also many organised events around the city to enjoy, whether you are going alone or in a group. The Dublin Pride Festival takes place between June 24 and June 28, involving a schedule of LGBTQ+ themed activities which can be found on Dublin Pride’s website. For example, the Meeting House Square at Temple Bar hosts performances and LGBTQ+ artists throughout the week.
