Join us as we stand with Mana Whenua to open the Wellington Pride Festival 2025!

Join us on this special 90-minute free walk tour to celebrate the people and movements that fought for a brighter future for rainbow communities.

Join us for stories and songs about being kind, inclusive, and expressing yourself however you choose.

To celebrate Pride this year join guest speaker Edward Cowley and exhibition curator Maddie Brooks Gillespie to hear stories from the life and times of Carmen Rupe, and gain a window into her legacy and the fabulous worlds she created.

Join us for a morning tea of meeting fellow queer artists and building queer art connections.

The first hour will be facilitated by the talented Creatif Kate, while the second hour will be a chill space to hang out and get to know more about those artists that you vibe with.

The celebration continues into the night with an exciting takeover of Lower Cuba Street. In collaboration with Ivy Bar, we highlight some of Wellington’s best drag performers, DJs, and local talent. This lively street party also features a fantastic food market, offering a taste of the city’s culinary delights.

Come meet and socialise with other fellow bi+ people in a calm and casual platonic environment.

Wellington's renowned Courtenay Place and Dixon Street serve as the perfect stage to celebrate our vibrant creativity and distinctive culture. The parade invites everyone to either participate or revel in the excitement of the energetic crowds.

We have your favourite throwbacks and old school bangers waiting for you!
