Dublin Gay Pride 2026

Dublin Gay Pride is Ireland's national LGBTQ+ celebration, held each June in the city that voted overwhelmingly for marriage equality in the world's first same-sex marriage referendum by popular vote, in 2015. The parade through the city centre draws hundreds of thousands to the streets of Dublin, passing landmarks like Trinity College, the Spire on O'Connell Street, and the Temple Bar cultural quarter.

The pride festival includes a week of cultural events, the popular BeLonG To youth programs, the International Mr. Gay Ireland competition, and the Saturday parade — one of the most emotional in Europe given Ireland's profound journey from criminalization of homosexuality (until 1993) to constitutional marriage equality.
