    Pride Run

    Dublin pride will kick off with a healthy 5km run in Phoenix Park on the 17th June. This year the race organisers are hoping to raise funds for the LGBT helpline. Unfortunately places on this year's run have already sold out - but head along to cheer on hundreds of participants as they walk, jog, skip or leap-jump their way to the endline. Good vibes guaranteed!

    The Pride Parade

    Mother: Pride Block Party

    If you're still looking for mischief after the parade and pride village, there are a number of venues hosting official after parties on 25th June including The George and Panti Bar- but our top pick has to be the Mother outdoor pride party in association with Smirnoff. This street party will be MASSIVE with multiple bars, food stalls, Smirnoff cocktails and a new monster main stage.  An amazing musical line-up will light up the stage with DJ sets from Jake Shears, Little Boots and Panti Bliss to name a few.
