Offaly pride returns for second year
Offaly Pride will return later this month for its second year.
The event is set to take place from Friday, July 17, to Sunday, July 20, with a packed schedule of events from crafts to self care retreats.
The Offaly Pride committee said: "We're absolutely thrilled to bring Offaly Pride back for its second year - and we can't wait to celebrate with you! This year's programme is packed with something for everyone, from fabulous drag workshops and relaxed community picnics to live entertainment, music, and plenty more. We hope you'll find a space to connect, express yourself, and be part of something joyful and inclusive.
"None of this would be possible without the generous support of local businesses, community organisations, and our funders. We're so grateful for your belief in what Offaly Pride stands for. Finally, to our amazing new volunteer committee; your passion, energy, and dedication are the heart of this event!"
