A healthy dose of flouyer pouyer for the rebel county.
Cork Pride kicks off on Friday 23rd July, bringing with it an array of live gigs and events to celebrate the county's LGBTQ+ community.
Notably, the official parade afterparty on July 31st will be headlined by the woman, the myth, the legend, Nadine Coyle, with support from fellow Derry girl Brooke Scullion, Ireland's 2022 Eurovision representative.
The free gig takes place by the Lee at Kennedy Quay from 3pm onwards, and will also feature performances from Sparkle, The Guilty Judges, an array of Cork’s finest Drag talent, Kabin Studio, and Red FM DJ’s, hosted by broadcaster and performer Paul Ryder.

The parade itself will assemble from 1pm at Grand Parade, before starting to move at 2pm and finishing up at the Lee-side afterparty.
Cork Pride has been running for 17 years and is the largest Irish festival of its kind outside of Dublin, bringing with it 30,000 visitors into the city each summer.
