atest press release from the Wicklow Pride Committee, issued on Thursday, June 8th 2023…

The Plaza Market at Greystones Marina returned for the June Bank Holiday after almost a 4-year hiatus.

With almost 40 stalls, the market was buzzing with colour, creativity and picture postcard June Bank Holiday weather. At the centre of the activity, Wicklow Pride Festival crew brought sunshine and rainbows by the bucket load and there were certainly enough for everyone!

RTE Presenter, author and activist, Emer O’Neill joined the team on the day to wear her rainbow proudly in support of the upcoming parade.

Emer, a proud Wicklow woman was eager to support the event in her home county and jumped straight in to help. The atmosphere was electric on the plaza and the excitement is growing for the momentous occasion.

The Plaza market runs every Sunday until the end of August 11am-5.30pm and Wicklow Pride will be back again, located at the Community hub on Sunday, June 25th.

Wicklow Pride Festival Committee, a community group which formed in September of last year have committed to bringing the very first county wide Pride Parade to Wicklow Town and it’s happening – Saturday, July 1st, 2pm, at O’Shea’s Corner.

This will be a community event and all are welcome. We are inviting groups to register via our portal here.

So get your club, your colleagues and your community together as we make history at Wicklow first Pride Parade!
