Mullingar Pride preparing for annual parade and festival

In their short existence, Mullingar Pride have made their presence felt in a colourful joyus way in the town, and they are back for more this month with their pride festival.

Officially launched in March 2022, Mullingar Pride has since hosted two successful pride parades and festivals. Last year’s in the heart of Mullingar marked the first major queer event in the town’s history.

This year’s Mullingar Pride is on Saturday July 13, and lineup includes a family afternoon with live entertainment, a pride parade through the town, and the grand celebration, Werk!Fest.
