The programme includes a webinar, a culture night, a live-streamed international panel discussion (to be streamed on Cork City Council's YouTube channel and on www/corkcity.ie/tv) with colleagues in Washington D.C. and a picnic in Fitzgerald’s Park with live music and children’s activities.

Join us for the formal launch, which will feature a Rainbow Flag raising ceremony, music from Choral ConFusion, an address from Mayor London Breed, the Mayor of our sister city and fellow Rainbow City San Francisco, and a tribute to Tony Power, RIP, who was an integral member of the Cork LGBTI+ Inter Agency group.
