<\/p>\nAhead of the 2026 Dublin Pride parade, which is set to draw thousands of people to the city centre, we are sharing all you need to know.<\/p>\n
When is the Dublin Pride Parade?<\/p>\n
Dublin’s Pride Parade will take place on Saturday, 27 June. Kicking off at 12:30pm, it will last approximately two hours.<\/p>\n

Starting outside the GPO on O’Connell Street, the parade will run through Eden Quay, Custom House Quay, Talbot Memorial Bridge, City Quay, Lombard Street, Westland Row, and Merrion Street Lower.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Who is the Grand Marshal?<\/p>\n
Author and activist Philippa Ryder has been named as this year’s Grand Marshal. Ryder has served as a board member of Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride and TENI as well as Chair of Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride, and was instrumental in the establishment of LGBTQ+ groups within the public service. Her memoir, My Name Is Philippa, shares the lived reality of a trans woman in Ireland.<\/p>\n
Do I have to register to take part?<\/p>\n
There is no need to register, whether you are marching solo or as part of a group. This is a free event, and all are welcome. Visit DublinPride.ie<\/a> to find your nearest assembly zone.<\/p>\n What is the theme of this year’s Pride parade?<\/p>\n The theme of this year’s Pride celebrations is: One Story – Many Voices. Dublin Pride say that the theme focuses on the unifying thread that connects the community across time, borders, and very different lived experiences: “While no single voice can represent us all, every voice counts”.<\/p>\n Is the parade accessible to all?<\/p>\n Accessibility supports for this year’s parade, and post-parade celebrations, include accessible viewing areas, ISL interpreters, accessible toilets, accessible and quieter buses and a dedicated support team.<\/p>\n Seating and a designated space for wheelchairs and those who need it will be available on O’Connell Bridge. For those with sensory issues who may struggle with the large crowds, there will be a secondary viewing area at the Grant Thornton offices on City Quay.<\/p>\n NeuroPride have supported a dedicated space inside Pride Square (Merrion Square) for neurodivergent folk. Volunteers from both NeuroPride and Dublin Pride will be on hand throughout the day.<\/p>\n Mobiloo – a mobile-accessible toilet with an adult-sized changing bench, hoist, and a friendly attendant – will also be available in the Square.<\/p>\n An ISL team will be present on the main stage for all performances and speeches.<\/p>\n For more information, or if you have any specific needs that you require support with, contact community@dublinpride.ie<\/p>\n What other events are on that day?<\/p>\n The Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival takes place from June 24th \u2013 28th, with the Parade taking place on Saturday, 27 June.<\/p>\n On Saturday, as well as the Parade and a party in Pride Square, there will be exhibitions, tours, live performances, go-go dancing, face painting, pottery making, stand-up comedy, sound baths, and a lot of dancing.
