The Dublin Pride Parade is the centerpiece of the festival, attracting tens of thousands of participants and spectators every year.

The festival has a range of events and activities, with something for almost everyone. There are social gatherings, film screenings, workshops, and talks on a range of LGBTQ+ issues. The festival ends in a huge party after the parade in Merrion Square, with live music, DJs, and entertainment into the early hours of the morning.
