Carlow Pride Festival
Founded almost 7 years ago, the first festival attracted 3,500 attendees and there was a fantastic turnout again this year with Carlow Pride Festival remaining to be Carlow town’s biggest calendar event in the year. The starting point for this years rainbow parade was Carlow College and finished in Carlow town park. There was live entertainment, food stalls, ice cream vans and other fun activities for all on the day.
Pride month is all about equality and the freedom to express yourself however you would like to do so. At Carlow Credit Union, we share similar values and treat all our members equally while offering financial services to anyone in our common bond area. It is for this reason we are proud supporters of Carlow Pride year on year.

St Josephs AFC
"The Joeys" was established in 1962. Based at McArdle’s Cross in Tinryland, they’ve been a cornerstone of Carlow soccer for over 60 years. Carlow Credit Union was delighted to partner with St. Joseph’s AFC for their U10 and U11 trip to Blackpool.
By sponsoring the team’s gear bags, we helped the players travel in style for their tournament across the water. Supporting local clubs like St. Joseph's is a key part of our mission to give back to the Carlow community.
