Mayo Pride Festival brings an abundance of colour and joy

The Mayo Pride Festival has brought an abundance colour and joy to the tourist town of Westport over the June Bank Holiday weekend.

It was attended by hundreds of people from throughout the country and the weather conditions were perfect.

A number of events are taking place today as the three-day festivals draws to a close.

Local photographer Michael McLaughlin was busy capturing images of the occasion.
