Kerry is hosting its third annual Kingdom Pride Festival from July 10-16, 2023, and the schedule includes over thirty-three events spanning seven days, promising to be “the biggest little Pride in Ireland.”
The 2023 Pride festival theme is Together In Love, celebrating love, inclusivity, and diversity. In addition to Killarney, the week-long festival will include community events in neighbouring towns like Listowel, Killorglin, Cahersiveen, Tralee, Kenmare, and South Kerry “to ensure that no corner of the Kingdom is lacking in Pride this year.”
Kingdom Pride’s Co-Chairperson Sabrina Crotty said: “Creating a festival in a county as vast as Kerry is no small feat, but everywhere we go communities are turning up and showing their support to help us bring the celebrations to life. Our theme this year could not be more apt.”
