Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou
The longest-running annual Pride celebration in Aotearoa.
The first Pride celebrations in Te Whanganui-ā-Tara were organised as part of campaigning for Homosexual Law Reform in 1986. Wellington Pride Festival traces back to Newtown Lesbian and Gay Fair, themed ‘a Fair for a fair law’.
Wellington Pride Festival now is an ever-growing annual Festival celebrating our rainbow whānau in Te Whanganui-ā-Tara.
Our grassroots, volunteer-led kaupapa is guided by Te Whāriki, which sets our strategic priorities for the future: a more inclusive and Te Tiriti o Waitangi-centred Pride Festival.
Our kaupapa
for the community,
by the community.
At Wellington Pride Festival, we pride ourselves on:
Diversity
Accessibility
Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi
We acknowledge that Pride is political.
We are committed to engaging in conversations about intersectional justice — and weaving that kaupapa into everything we do.
We will always show up and speak up for our community, to ensure safety and representation for all.
