Limerick Pride

Limerick Pride has been around since 2001, when the group held its first Pride night. Six years later, they marched in their first parade, and by 2008, it had grown into a full week of events. They've won GALAS awards, and in 2028, Limerick and West Clare will host EuroPride - the first time it's come to Ireland.

The festival takes place in July, with a focus on community events: club nights, drag shows, and comedy gigs, plus a book club, crafting night, and community café. You can also catch talks, a guided history tour, and a golf event called Putt in Pride. It all wraps up with the Saturday parade through the city centre, followed by Pridefest, a free family afternoon at the Hunt Museum.
