Limerick and Clare team attend EPOA AGM in Germany ahead of EuroPride 2028

Limerick LGBTQ+ Pride and The Outing Winter Pride Festival in Ennis, County Clare, travelled to Magdeburg, Germany, to attend the European Pride Organisers Association (EPOA) Annual General Meeting.

The delegation presented progress on EuroPride 2028, the first time Ireland will host the Europe‑wide event. The bid, won by the Limerick and Clare team, secures a ten‑day programme of LGBTQ+ culture, arts, music and human‑rights activities in the Mid West from 3 to 13 August 2028.

At the AGM the hosts outlined the theme “Pride in the Community”, which will celebrate advances for Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community while highlighting ongoing work for equality, visibility, safety and inclusion across Europe.

Lisa Daly, festival director and chair of Limerick Pride Festival, said the visit was an opportunity to share their vision, strengthen partnerships and learn from other Pride organisations.

The EuroPride celebrations will culminate in a major parade in Limerick City on Saturday 12 August 2028, showcasing queer Irish culture and the West of Ireland’s communities along the Wild Atlantic Way.
