Cork LGBT+ Pride Festival CLG

The Cork LGBT+ Pride Festival is an annual celebration in Cork, Ireland, dedicated to promoting inclusivity, diversity, and visibility within the LGBT+ community. Established in 1993, it has grown to become one of Ireland's premier regional Pride events, attracting significant attendance second only to the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Organized by the registered not-for-profit charity Cork LGBT+ Pride Festival CLG, the festival's mission is to advocate for and create inclusive offerings that increase the visibility of Cork's LGBT+ community. The organization emphasizes values such as inclusion, advocacy, diversity, and visibility. Each year, the festival features a variety of events, including parades, family fun days, film screenings, and community gatherings. For instance, the 2024 festival, themed "Unity in the Community," highlighted the collective strength of the LGBTQ+ community and included events like the Pride Parade and Party at the Port. The upcoming 2025 Cork Pride Festival is scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 3, with the main parade set for August 3. For more information, you can visit our official website.
