become a partner

Wellington Pride Parade brings more than 15,000 people into the heart of Te Whanganui-a-Tara each year to celebrate, connect and stand proudly alongside our Rainbow communities.

For many people, it’s a brilliant day out. For others—particularly young Rainbow people, people finding their community, or those who have felt isolated—visibility and belonging can mean something much more.

"We were so proud to bring our child, see the joy in their face, and hear their stories of a newly felt community after being at the Parade. We’re so grateful this space exists."

Our incredible partners make that possible. Their support helps us keep the Parade safe and accessible, bring grassroots Rainbow groups into the event, support local performers, and build an experience where everyone has a place.
