Mother is an LGBTQ+ club night that has become an institution of Dublin nightlife.

Mother co-founder Cormac Cashman said, “We’re really excited to share with the community our very special Pride line-up and plans for the Pride Block Party 2024 in The National Museum of Ireland at Collins Barracks, a spacious and accessible city centre festival site complete with three stages, multiple bars and fairground rides.”
Lisa Connell, Mother co-founder, expanded: “Curating and programming the Annual Pride Block Party is a highlight for us. With the weekend now encompassing two stand-alone shows, Braza Block Party on Friday, June 28th and Mother Pride Block Party on Saturday, June 29th, we’re excited to welcome our queer family back to the National Museum for what’s going to be our best Pride weekend to date.”
