The annual Pride Celebration commemorates the rebellion of LGBT patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village in response to a routine police raid on June 27, 1969. The following year, a “Gay-In” that took place on June 27, 1970 that was the early progenitor of the current Pride Celebration. Since 1972, the event has been held every year, by various towns across the world.
Since its humble beginning, Waterford pride has gone from strength to strength and has established itself as one of the well-known Pride events in the south east. It has been in Waterford for over a decade but is only getting the recognition it deserves in the last couple of years especially with the first ever gay parade being held in august 2009. This was a big step and a huge success for the gay community as the whole of the city welcomed it. This year we aim to make the parade bigger and better with a host of events for the gay community to enjoy.
