Get In Early!

As their successful Winter Pride draws to a close, Dublin Pride have announced that registrations for next year’s Dublin Pride Parade are now open. They’d love to hear from the community as to whether you’ll be joining them to march, protest and celebrate on June 27, 2020. They are hoping to get as many groups registered as possible by the end of the year to allow them to get all the information you’ll need to enjoy the day out to you earlier in the year. You can register your group now and confirm the exact number of attendees closer to the parade date.

They will have resources put aside for the community again this year, so if you need financial or practical support – whether that be for printing, flags, transport for your members or something creatively different – get in touch with them before January 31, 2020, to apply for the support once you’ve registered. As well as that, the team would love for you to contact them with any queries or questions about the celebrations.
