Event: Auckland’s Rainbow Parade to return in 2023

Rainbow Pride Auckland has announced that the Rainbow Parade will return to Ponsonby on the 18th February 2023. This year’s event had to be cancelled because of rising covid cases in Auckland.

A press release from Rainbow Pride indicates that motorised floats will be part of the event next year. The press release follows:

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is set to be in position as the Auckland Rainbow Parade returns to Ponsonby bringing diversity, unity, respect, celebration, inclusion and loads of colour in 2023. Guardian and Acting Co-Chair Trevor Easton says “We’re absolutely thrilled to announce a date of Saturday, 18 February 2023 – there will be lights, floats, glitter, love, and colour galore that we’ve all been saving up during this time focussing on the health of the nation. We will all be bringing our LGBTQIA+ game with energy, creativity, and diversity along Ponsonby Road to unite participants and audience.”

From 5.30pm Ponsonby Road will come alive with a range of pre-parade activations and from 7.00pm its time to start the engines, kick your dancing heels together and hit play on those sound systems!

Parade Event Manager Shaughan Woodcock “We are calling our rainbow whanau and business diversity groups to start their engines and get planning so we can make this – the first motorised parade since 2018 – the biggest and best yet.”
