IMPORTANT PARADE ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to an expected increased volume of attendees in our parade and unexpected roadworks at the Solstice, we have been advised to start the parade from the Fair Green in Navan, opposite St Mary’s Church. Please now gather at the Fair Green from 1.30pm on Saturday, setting off at 2pm. The parade will also finish at the Fair Green.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this late change.

Statement
Navan Pride have become aware of a video of an attack on a local Navan student circulating online. There is speculation that this was a homophobic attack. While this is unconfirmed, we strongly stand against this type of behaviour and ask that our followers do not share this video online.
Violent attacks on members of the LGBTQ+ community are still happening, not just across this country but within our own town. This is why Navan Pride is so important and why we need your support.
