On June 29 the biggest people parade in Ireland takes over Dublin city centre for Dublin Pride, but it’s not the only thing happening on the big day. Here’s a run down of all the other things you can expect alongside some information about the Parade itself.

Outhouse on Capel Street will host a Pride breakfast from 10am. So those looking to build up their energy before getting their march on need look no further.

For the Parade itself, it starts on O’Connell Street, turns on to Eden Quay and passes Liberty Hall, where the first large scale march for LGBT+ rights in Ireland started in 1983. It crosses the Liffey at Talbot Memorial Bridge and travels along City Quay, Lombard Street, Westland Row and ends with a free outdoor event – the Pride Village in Merrion Square.

Due to the thousands of attendees expected at Dublin Pride, and in order to allow the Parade set up and start in a safe and efficient manner, the organisers will have an assembly zone set out around Parnell Square and part of O’Connell Street for registered groups with access restricted to avoid overcrowding. This only applies to the set up and the very beginning of the Parade. Once it sets off you can watch or join in at any point along the route.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that the proposed route for the 2019 #DublinPride Parade and March will see us return to the very heart of our city! ???

Once Parade-goers reach the family friendly Pride Village, there will be a host of speakers and special guests on the Main Stage, while the Village will include community areas, a Quiet Zone and a children’s play area along with other amazing activities.
