Killarney will host a series of event as part of Kingdom Pride on July 15.

The third annual Kingdom Pride Festival takes place between July 10 and 16.

The festival will include community and family-friendly events in Killarney as well as Tralee, and other towns and villages across the Kingdom.

“The theme for this year’s Pride Festival is Together In Love, encapsulates the spirit of what Pride is all about - celebrating love, inclusivity, and diversity. This theme at the core of the festival, all events are inclusive spaces. Anyone interested in the events of the festival, regardless if they are members of the LGBTQ+ community or not are welcome to attend. All events taking place are also for allies to come along and show their support by celebrating alongside their LGBTQ+ friends, family and neighbours,” said Kingdom Pride’s PRO Ellen Doherty.

One of the festival’s flagship events will take place in Killarney on July 15. Against the iconic backdrop of the lakes of Killarney and in the shadow of Carrauntoohil, will be the flagship event of Pride in the Park.

“We are especially excited about hosting our annual Pride Park Celebrations at the gorgeous Killarney House and Gardens on Saturday 15th July! Creating a festival in a county as vast as Kerry is no small feat, but everywhere we go communities are turning up and showing their support to help us bring the celebrations to life. Our theme this year could not be more apt,” said Co-Chairperson of Kingdom Pride Sabrina Crotty.
