    Katherine Lynch will be filming material for her new show on the night so be sure to keep an eye out for the cameras if you want to make your claim for infamy!

     
    Saturday the 22nd

    The parade will kick off at 2 p.m. (preparations from 1 p.m) at the Town Hall and in our never-ending search for a more flamboyant procession this year we're going for Mardis Gras stylings! All, of course, are welcome to join - and if you decide to do so; dress with colour!

    For a quiet wind-down to the weekend our customary cruise, Crusin' for Pride!, will be taking place on the aptly named, Corrib Princess. Kicking off at 4pm sharp and with all your camp classic tunes be sure to get your tickets for this, and all the other events, now - before they are gone!
