This year’s Mother Pride Block Party promises to be an iconic celebration, and it keeps getting better as they’ve just announced a fabulous new partnership with Barefoot Wine. If you simply can’t wait for the festival to start, here’s some incredible news: Mother and Barefoot have offered tickets to the event and an entire case of wine (12 bottles!) to one lucky GCN reader!
The 2025 Mother Pride Block Party is set to be bigger and better than ever this year, in celebration of 10 years of Marriage Equality and Gender Recognition in Ireland. Taking over the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, on June 28, the festival will be a massive outdoor celebration of queer joy, unity, music, and dance, featuring incredible headliners such as DJ and producer The Blessed Madonna and drag royalty Trixie Mattel.
For the very first time this year, Barefoot Wine will join the party with its signature flair, bringing a bespoke bar and dedicated stage to the festival. The “Barefoot on the Lawn” space promises a vibrant atmosphere and a fantastic selection of flavourful wines courtesy of Barefoot.
From the stage, a fabulous lineup of DJs, including the sensational Pixie Woo and the dynamic Crystal Queer DJ collective featuring G!O, E l ö & Ella de Vuono, will have party-goers dance to amazing music, keeping the tunes flowing as freely as the wine.
Speaking about the new partnership, Lisa Connell from Mother said, “We’re proud to welcome Barefoot Wine to the fold for this year’s Mother Pride Block Party. Their long-standing support of the LGBTQ+ community aligns with our values and we look forward to working with them to create a joyful and inclusive space on site to celebrate Pride together.”
Barefoot Country Manager Philip Lynch said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be joining Mother Pride Block Party for the first time this year and to introduce ‘Barefoot on the Lawn’ to the Dublin Pride scene.”
“Barefoot has always championed love, diversity, and creating fun, memorable moments, standing as a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community since 1988. Our bespoke stage and bar is our way of celebrating with the incredible community that Mother brings together. We can’t wait to see everyone there!”
From big flavours to gorgeous aromas, Barefoot Wine has something in store for everyone. Their selection includes Barefoot Jammy Red, Barefoot Merlot, Barefoot Malbec, Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon, Barefoot Buttery Chardonnay, Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc, Barefoot Pinot Grigio, Barefoot Chardonnay and Barefoot Moscato alongside Barefoot White Zinfandel, Barefoot Pink Pinot Grigio and Barefoot Pink Moscato
