Wellington Pride Parade brings our Rainbow communities, whānau, friends and allies together in the heart of Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
We take over the streets to celebrate who we are, make our communities visible and ensure our voices are heard. Pride is more than a party; it’s about creating a city where everyone has the freedom to belong, to be seen, and to thrive.
When our Rainbow communities thrive, Wellington thrives.
Join the Countdown to Saturday, 13 March!
