Galway’s Pride & 8K Celebrate Big Days | Galway News

Galway’s Saturday, August 8th, is packed with celebration as the city hosts two landmark events: the 37th annual Galway Community Pride parade and the 40th anniversary Streets of Galway 8K. The Pride march begins at 2 PM from Eyre Square, winding through City Hall, Shop Street, the Latin Quarter, Spanish Arch, and ending at Father Burke Park — with pre-parade fun starting at 1:15 PM. Meanwhile, the sold-out 8K race kicks off at 7 PM, taking runners past Spanish Arch and Eyre Square, along the coastal route to Claddagh Hall. Both events feature rolling road closures for safety — Pride from 2 PM to later, the 8K from 7 to 8 PM. Weather? Cloudy with a chance of light rain and temps around 17-19°C — perfect for cheering, marching, or running in style.
