Waterford is celebrating Pride this weekend, with events taking place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
There are a number of events organised across the county to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
It's the first time since 2017 that Waterford Pride have been able to hold events.
They had hoped to bring the festival back in 2020 but then Covid put an end to those plans.
Tonight, Pride Live is taking place in Revolution with Belfast drag queen, Robin Diamonds.
Saturday
Speaking to WLR, Paul White, from Waterford Pride says, "We have Yoga in the Park on Saturday. We are meeting at the Park Lodge Café at 10am.
"We have a Pride Drag Cruise called 'Queens of the Sea' with Mr. Pussy who is one of the oldest Drag Queens in Ireland. That's leaving from the clock tower at 12 or half 12 on Saturday and is going all around Cheekpoint.
"There's going to be a street party from 2pm to 8pm on Saturday, at Bank Lane in association with Itty Bitty's. Vicki Graham and her stage school are doing a theatre workshop, Rachel Dunne is doing a dance class, we have a painting party, we have face painting, and an ice-cream van."
Organisers say it's for all ages, with a few surprises on the night.
Paul is encouraging people to "Bring your Granny, bring your dog, bring absolutely everyone!"
After the street party there will be a number of performances including Two Time Charlie, who are a local band, with Conor Clancy from Toucan and DJ Martin Power.
