A newly formed group of dedicated local volunteers has come together to ensure that Cork will celebrate Pride this year with a vibrant and inclusive community event line up over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Cork Community Pride is being organised by a passionate, grassroots collective of volunteers from across Cork city and county. United by a shared commitment to equality, visibility and celebration, the group brings together members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies determined to deliver a Pride event that reflects the diversity and spirit of Cork.event

While still a grassroots work in progress, Cork Community Pride 2026 hopes to feature a colourful Pride march and a Pride Family Picnic, creating a welcoming space for people of all ages to come together in celebration, solidarity and support.

The weekend will highlight community, inclusion, and the ongoing work toward equality, while providing a joyful and safe environment for everyone to participate.

This is a relatively small group of brand new volunteers, so now we are looking for more people to get involved and volunteer with Cork Community Pride.

Further announcements, including march routes, entertainment line-ups and event timings, will be shared soon.
