Newry Pride Returns

We are thrilled to announce the date for this year’s Newry Pride Parade and Celebration. Mark your calendars for Saturday, 31st of August, as we come together to celebrate love, acceptance and equality.

LGBTQ+ Women’s Group Newry are overjoyed to be able to bring back this important community event for the first time in 5 years, thanks to funding awarded by the National Lottery Community Fund. A massive thank you to them for helping us make this happen!

Get Involved:

  1. Sponsorship Opportunities:

Local businesses looking to support the LGBTQ+ community and gain visibility can become event sponsors. By sponsoring Newry Pride, businesses will receive prominent publicity and recognition during the festivities. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the National Lottery Community Fund for awarding Newry Pride 2024 a generous grant of £20,000. Their support enables us to create an unforgettable celebration for everyone.

For businesses looking to get involved in supporting this event financially, please contact us directly or donate via our fundraising page: https://gofund.me/a0c9f270

  1. Join the Parade:

Community groups, schools, political parties, and local businesses are invited to participate in the colourful Pride Parade. Show your solidarity, creativity, and pride by marching alongside fellow Newry residents. To register your interest, please follow this link:

  1. Individual Donations and Volunteering:

Although we have secured funding to cover the cost of a concert / festival event on the day, there are costs to run the parade itself which we currently have no reserves to cover. We’re asking people to donate, if they can, to help us make Newry Pride 2024 a dazzling success. Please donate via our fundraising page: https://gofund.me/a0c9f270

If you can’t donate but can provide any kind of practical support or assistance instead, including volunteering your time, we would love to hear from you!
