The opening gala which was sorely missed from the 2016 schedule will be held at Q Theatre, Auckland’s home for the Arts. The 2017 Festival will culminate when the iconic Auckland Pride Parade processes the length of Ponsonby Road on Saturday 25 February.

Festival and Parade registrations will be open on the Auckland Pride Festival website from late September.
