Auckland Pride produces Tāmaki Makaurau’s annual Festival of events for rainbow communities, and in 2020 celebrated its eighth consecutive Pride Festival.

Auckland Pride’s mission is to produce an inclusive festival that reflects the diversity of Tāmaki Makaurau’s queer communities, which includes people identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, takatāpui, whakawāhine, tangata ira tāne, fa’afafine, fakaleiti, akava’ine, māhū, vaka sa lewa lewa, rae rae, fiafifine, fakafifine, palopa, kathoey, hijra, baklâ, genderfluid, genderqueer, pansexual, asexual, queer and questioning. In this way we celebrate our culture, sexual orientation and gender identity, connecting past, present, and future.
