The annual Galway Pride Festival – the longest continual Pride event in Ireland is expected to take place from Monday August 12 to Sunday August 18 2024. This new event will encompass everything that makes our city the cultural magnet that it is. The aim is to encourage involvement from the wider community, and to highlight the great variety of people that make Galway such a vibrant and exciting place to live and visit. Events throughout the week will include evenings of information and awareness, arts and performance, music nights and the colourful parade on the final Saturday of the festival.
