What’s happening
While Wellington Pride Festival officially happens in March, we like to have events for our Rainbow communities running year long. Here you’ll find our festival fundraisers, monthly drop in sessions, and anything else we’ve got planned.

Community engagement: drop in session
This is a gentle space to play, whakawhanaugatanga and kōrero about the Wellington Pride Festival.

WPF presents The Hunger (1983)
Continuing our fundraising films, The Hunger is full camp; queer tension and complexity. And beware: the encounters in this movie do not stick to heterosexual norms…

WPF presents The Birdcage (1996)
Next up in our fundraising films: A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancée's right-wing, conservative parents.
