Drogheda Pride 2026 celebrates a decade of official festivities for the LGBTQ+ community in Louth. Although the event has been active since 2015, this year marks the 10th official edition following previous cancellations during the pandemic. The program begins on the evening of Friday, June 19, with a comedy pre-party at The Barrel Room. This opening night features performances by Irish comedians David McSavage and Therese Cahill.

The main festivities continue on Saturday, June 20, with the annual Pride Parade. The procession is scheduled to gather at the King Street Car Park at midday. As Drogheda is the largest town in the county, organizers expect the march to draw a significant crowd from across the region to celebrate visibility and inclusion.

The festival concludes on Saturday night with a flagship show back at The Barrel Room. Headlined by Tailor Maid Colby, the evening includes a variety of acts ranging from drag performances by Bon Bon to live music from AIDXN G. The 2026 festival is supported by Louth County Council and several national tourism and arts departments.
