Dundalk Pride, now in its fourth year, is a festival organised by the LGBT community of Dundalk and the North East. We celebrate diversity, creativity and individuality. This year we are inviting the LGBT community, friends and family, Dundalk and its surrounds and friends who have left these shores to come celebrate with us and Embrace Your Identity.

We have something for everyone. Our Art Exhibition, running right through Pride, has its official launch on Tuesday 16th in the County Museum. On Thursday 18th our annual Table Quiz in McGeough's is sure to bring out the competitive side. Friday 19th sees our first Laughter Lounge in the Courtyard. Acts include Oliver Callan, Al Porter and Margo Carr plus many more.

Saturday is the big one. The family friendly Pride Day in Dundalk Outcomers. The Courtyard will be transformed into a creative garden festival space free for you to explore and relax in. Attractions will include an outdoor cafe, live entertainment, holistic therapy treatments, a second hand bookshop, face painting, children's play area and much, much more. Then as night settles in let the party commence, 10PM in the Fairways Hotel. With DJ Conan providing the tunes and entertainment by Paul Ryder, the Pride Party is guaranteed to be as fabulous as ever.

And don't be worried about getting home because the Fairways Hotel have again shown they are proud to be part of this event and are offering a room only deal of €39. Just mention Dundalk Pride when booking. So no excuses. LGBT, friends and family, you are invited to our Gathering. Embrace Your Identity!
