Now in its fourth year, Letterkenny Pride is a multi-day festival dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in Donegal’s largest town.

The celebration is supported by local civic leaders and businesses, featuring a mix of high-profile public events and smaller community workshops.

The festival's centerpiece is the Pride Parade, which takes place on Saturday afternoon, starting from An Grianán Theatre and following a route through the entire length of Main Street.
