Pride is a celebration; an expression of the diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. Cork City has a well-established LGBT community and since the Cork Pride Parade began seven years ago, there have been many changes both in Cork and Irish society.
This year, the event hopes to attract up to 10,000 visitors from home and abroad to support the LGBT Community in Cork. Cork Pride has always had an open and welcoming atmosphere with something to offer everyone, no matter what your gender identity or sexual orientation is. The theme of this year's parade is '20 Years Proud'.
