Auckland Pride Information

Tāmaki Makaurau's Pride Festival, connecting and celebrating our Takatāpui and Rainbow communities every February and all year-round! We produce Tāmaki Makaurau’s annual Festival of events for rainbow communities, expanded to an incredibly diverse and vibrant Pride Month for the first time in 2021, and in 2022 delivered Te Tīmatanga through a phenomenal public art and digital activation celebrating Takatāpuitanga. Auckland Pride’s mission is to produce an inclusive festival that reflects the diversity of Tāmaki Makaurau’s queer communities, connecting and celebrating past, present, and future. The Auckland Pride Festival is an open-access arts, cultural, and community Festival. It’s comprised of major events delivered by Auckland Pride, such as the groundbreaking Te Tīmatanga, powerful Pride March, and the sensational Pride Party, and a diverse variety of events produced by artists, community organisers, and organisations. Auckland Pride is a membership driven, democratic organisation that is lead by its board and advised by its Māori Advisory Rōpū. Auckland Pride hold regular community hui with its membership to ensure its direction is guided by Tāmaki Makaurau’s rainbow communities. We’re proud of our deep relationship with our community as they guide the direction of Auckland Pride.
