As the longest running pride festival in Aotearoa New Zealand, Wellington Pride Festival is back in 2024 with a wide
array of official and community-led events, so there’s something for everyone!
From 1-17 March, there are over 50 events in the capital to celebrate pride, diversity and equality. Some key events
include the popular Youth Ball on 8 March providing a safe space for rangatahi ages 14 to 18 to celebrate and be
themselves, the hīkoi from Civic Square to Parliament on Saturday 9 March, and Out in the City on Sunday 17 March at the
Michael Fowler Centre.
Wellington Pride Festival is committed to providing safe and accessible events for the whole community to enjoy.

We’re thrilled to see the Wellington Pride Parade returning to the streets of Te Whanganui-a-Tara on Saturday 9 March
for the first time since 2020! With a brand new organising team operating under the newly formed Wellington Pride Parade
Trust, we’re working hard to ensure this is a vibrant, safe, family-friendly event for everyone.
The parade kicks off at 5pm with a central route along Courtenay Place and Dixon street, and culminates in a street
celebration on Cuba St. The Wellington Pride Parade takes place after the Wellington Pride Festival’s hīkoi to
acknowledge the importance of protest before we celebrate. Everyone is welcome to attend the parade to celebrate joy and
diversity in our city and party in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community.
Tickets are on sale now from EventBrite for the official Wellington Pride Parade afterparty at Eva on Dixon St.
