THIS year’s Carlow Pride Festival was held in sweltering conditions as Carlow recorded temperatures of 27. 7 degrees in Oak Park on 12 July, the fourth highest temperature recorded in Ireland that day.

THIS year’s Carlow Pride festival promises to be a veritable rainbow of colour and joy when it takes place this weekend on Sunday 13 July.

SUNNY spells and rainbows were the order of the day when the town was a sunburst of colour for this year’s Carlow Pride Festival.
