About Auckland Pride

Auckland Pride is Tāmaki Makaurau's Pride Festival, connecting and celebrating Takatāpui and Rainbow Communities every February!

We produce Tāmaki Makaurau’s annual Festival of events for rainbow communities, expanded to an incredibly diverse and vibrant Pride Month including Te Tīmatanga, a festival of public, performance and digital art events celebrating Takatāpuitanga.

Auckland Pride’s mission is to empower, celebrate, and serve Tāmaki Makaurau’s Takatāpui and Rainbow Communities through events, creativity, and advocacy.

The Auckland Pride Festival is an open-access arts, cultural, and community Festival. It’s comprised of major events delivered by Auckland Pride, Te Tīmatanga,  the powerful Pride March & Party, and a diverse variety of events produced by artists, community organisers, and organisations.

Auckland Pride also delivers exciting initiatives and platforms for our community year-round, including an upcoming artist in residency program, our platform for year-round events The Queer Agenda, and Matariki events.

Auckland Pride is committed to ensuring that our communities have spaces year round to share their stories, celebrate who they are, and fight for progress.

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.
