Ireland is very much on our minds this week as we get ready to fly off to Dublin for the Mother Pride Block Party.  This rather fabulous annual event is set across multiple stages on the historic grounds of the National Museum of Ireland at Collins Barracks. It all started as a spontaneous street party outside the club over a decade ago, and it has grown year on year, becoming the official parade afterparty and largest ticketed event of Pride.

The Block Party will be a two-day celebration for a massive day of queer celebration in the heart of Dublin: these are just a couple of the must-do events that weekend.
