Navan Pride returns for its third year as a premier LGBTQ+ celebration in County Meath. Spearheaded by a new chairperson, Sean Flood, along with founder Patrick Lawlor, the festival aims to promote visibility and solidarity for the local queer community. The 2026 edition is supported by local businesses and government departments, with proceeds from designated fundraisers benefiting Willow, the Meath Women’s Refuge.

The week-long schedule includes diverse entertainment options such as a screening of 'Wicked: For Good' at The Solstice, a quiz fundraiser hosted by Joe Rooney at The Vintage Lounge, and a high-energy drag bingo night featuring Victoria Secret at Jackal. These gatherings serve as both community-building exercises and essential fundraising efforts for local social services.

The festival's centerpiece is the annual parade on Saturday, June 20, which is scheduled to begin at 2pm. Led by activist and grand marshal Ann Marie Toole, the march is followed by an afternoon of live music at Henry Loughran’s. Performers include Spin-Itch, Messy Avocado, and the Abba tribute band Mama Mia!.
