Galway EuroBash Cruise and Cycle Tour

OGAE Ireland is organizing a Eurovision Day in Galway on June 21st, 2025.

For those adventurous enough we have an optional bike tour of Galway arranged, spaces are limited here, but it will start at 1pm and you get to tour the city of Galway from a group pedal bike while we listen to Eurovision songs, and even stop off along the way to a bar or two, this goes on for about 90 minutes

For those not wanting to go on the cycle tour, the day will start from 3pm with a get-together in a pub in Galway where you can meet fellow Eurovision fans, enjoy a fresh beverage or two and some food from the bar.

The main event of the day will be a Corrib River Cruise from 19:15 until 22:15 on the beautiful Corrib Princess boat. We will party along the river for 3 hours to Eurovision tunes while enjoying the scenic beauty of the river and the lake Corrib. There will be a fully licensed bar on the boat.

After the cruise, those who have not had enough of Eurovision by then can continue the night at Roisin Dubh in the Westend of Galway, where will join the local Queer night Powerhaus where we have a Eurovision themed night with your favourite tunes and maybe even a few drag performances during the night.

We have lots of smaller activities and even a few surprises planned for those attending, more to be revealed as we get closer.

TICKETS

There will be two tickets on sale – the boat cruise and the cycle tour. We kept them separate as we knew not everyone would want to do both.

NOTE: There are no tickets needed to The Roisin Dubh afterwards if you just want to go there.
