Meet the Committee

Meet our 2025 Galway Pride Committee!

We are excited to serve the community this year, and pleased to meet you all.

Our theme is “Rise, Resist, Rejoice” which has shaped our approach to this festival.

We were inspired by a quote from LGBTQ+ activist and writer, Dan Savage, which reads:

“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for. It didn’t look like we were going to win then and we did it. It didn’t look like we were going to win then and we did. It doesn’t feel like we’re going to win now but we could. Keep fighting, keep dancing”

With our theme we aim to strike the balance of coming together in community, and supporting each other. We are doing this by not only protesting together, but also rejoicing together, because in these difficult times, finding joy with one another is resistance in itself.

We are delighted to be working with so many different groups and organisations and we are proud of the pride we are putting on.

We hope this year you feel welcome, you find community, you find the passion to protest with us, and most of all, you find joy, because joy is what we’re fighting for.
