Celebrating 40 years of Dublin Pride.
Dublin has been celebrating Pride all month, but this weekend will see the annual parade take place in the city centre, 40 years after it first started. This year is also extra special as it is the 30th anniversary of homosexuality being decriminalised in Ireland.
The Pride parade kicks off at 12pm, and to facilitate celebrations this weekend, there will be some road closures in Dublin city centre on Saturday, June 24th.
The Parade route begins on O'Connell Street, and goes across Eden Quay, Custom House Quay, Talbot Memorial Bridge, City Quay, Lombard Street, Westland Row, Lincoln Place, and finally finishes by Merrion Square.
The following roads will be closed between 6am and 10pm:
O’Connell Street (From Parnell Street to Bachelors Walk/Eden Quay)
Cathal Brugha Street (O’Connell Street Upper to Marlborough Street)
Merrion Square East & South
Fitzwilliam Street Lower
Mount Street Upper
