Join us as we conclude the Wellington Pride Festival 2025 with a vibrant community picnic! This is a wonderful opportunity to gather with friends and whānau in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, made possible by Rainbow Wellington. All welcome!

Experience the enchanting music of Orchestra Wellington and special guests as they perform orchestral arrangements of epic party anthems.

The event will be hosted by the charismatic and opulent drag king, King Markiss, overseeing an entertaining and engaging experience.

The Burnett Foundation will be present to discuss their vital work preventing HIV transmission, combating stigma and maximising the wellbeing of those most affected.

Our celebration will conclude with some words from Mana Whenua, who will help us officially close this year’s Festival.
