For younger visitors, there’ll be a bouncy castle, face painting, balloon animals, games and lots more to keep little ones entertained, while food stalls will be serving up tasty bites throughout the event.

Dog lovers won’t want to miss the special dog show hosted by Irish Guide Dogs, and there’ll also be a chance to meet LGBTQIA+ community groups from across Cork and learn more about the organisations helping to make the city a more inclusive place.

Supported by Cork City Council, the Cork Community Pride Family Picnic is free to attend and open to everyone, making it one of the most colourful and welcoming events of Pride weekend.
