Limerick Pride
Limerick Pride is a week-long annual event in Limerick, Ireland. Although its history dates back to 2001, with the first official pride event, the Pride parade was not introduced until 2007. The Pride parade took place in September from 2007 until 2013. It was moved to July in 2014 to avoid clashing with the Royal de Luxe event in September that year. The festival was made a week-long event in 2008. The final event of the week, the "Climax Party", is held in Dolan's Warehouse, with performers such as Leanne Moore (2008), Niamh Kavanagh (2010), Jujubee (drag queen), Jujubee (2019), and Courtney Act (2002) headlining. In 2008, the Pride parade had its first Grand Marshal, Alternative Miss Ireland winner Sheila Fitspatrick, and her partner Madonna Lucia. Other Grand Marshals have included actor Myles Breen (2015), Broden Giambrone (2016), Richard Lynch, Founder of I Love Limerick (2018), Moninne Griffith, Executive Director of BeLonG To (2019), Sharon Slater (2022) and Jackie McCarthy ...
