Wellington Pride Parade returns for another year

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.
