This year's Pride will have a strong focus on outdoor as well as online events.

It will combine annual events such as the remembrance Vigil on Wednesday in Eyre Square and Queer Women's Night on Thursday night with a range of online panels discussing reproductive justice, disability within the LGBT+ community, race & racism, mental health, and sex during a pandemic.

While current Covid-19 restrictions will not allow the Pride parade to make its way through town, instead Pride will spend the day in Salthill! Starting with a Pride Swim at Blackrock, then to a community gathering in Salthill Park and then Pride celebrations in Salthill Village.

Chair of Pride Owen Hanley said that they have over 40 events planned for this week.
