Dublin Pride, Ireland

Dublin's Pride has changed shape since the 2015 vote that legalised same-sex marriage — more than fifty years on from the city's first public gay rights demonstration, and grown from a single day into a month of programming: gallery tours, chorus concerts, walks through the city's queer history, and a parade that now runs in two distinct sections before finishing on the far side of the Liffey.

The Programme

• The Parade — O'Connell Street, Saturday 27 June from 12.30pm, free. Community and advocacy groups march first, corporate contingents second; the route passes Liberty Hall, crosses the Liffey, and finishes at the Pride Village in Merrion Square, with a second hub new this year at Meeting House Square.

• Tour of LGBTQIA+ Artworks — a guided walk through the National Gallery of Ireland's collection, tracing the community's history in fine art.

• Oscar Wilde's De Profundis — a film installation at the Museum of Literature Ireland, built around the letter Wilde wrote from prison to Lord Alfred Douglas.

• Queer Georgians: The Ladies of Llangollen — history, storytelling and live music at the Sugar Club, telling the story of Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, who eloped from Kilkenny in 1778.

• Queer Spectrum Film Festival — at the Irish Film Institute, Ireland's festival for LGBTQ+ people of colour and immigrants, now in its third year.

• Lavender Walk — a queer history walking tour of the city led by archivist Tonie Walsh, departing from Barnardo Square.

• Dublin Gay Men's Chorus — a concert at TU Dublin Grangegorman.

• Mother Pride Block Party — the festival's main party, at the National Museum of Ireland's Collins Barracks, with international headline acts and a drag line-up.

• Mother Pride After Party — at the Button Factory, running into the early hours.
