Here's what's happening today on Monday 16 March. The Rainbow Chair Yoga class at Pride HQ tonight at 6.30pm is free, super accessible (it's sitting down!) and a lovely chance to stretch out some sore muscles and re-centre yourself for the coming week. See you there!

Good morning from Odlins Plaza where your very sleepy committee and amazing volunteers are setting up for Out in the City. The Hīkoi begins in Te Ngākau Civic Square at 9am, Out in the City starts at 10am www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/news-1/oitc2...

Here's what's happening tomorrow at Wellington Pride Festival. Obviously the biggies (to us) are our Signature Events - the Hīkoi and Out in the City with Pooches in the Plaza and Small Wheels Pride as part of that, but save some energy for the tea dance too!

Tomorrow is Out in the City - the largest event that Wellington Pride Festival produces, as well as the Pride Hīkoi, so we've got all the info you should need over on our website www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/news-1/oitc2... See you at 9am for the hīkoi, and from 10am for OITC!

What's happening today? Lots of stuff! Much love goes out today especially to our rainbow rangitira at the Pride Youth Ball - we hope it's a truly magical evening for them! Have a wonderful day today whatever you're doing, but remember to save some energy for tomorrow's Hīkoi and Out in the City!

Tomorrow we'll be one week into the Festival with another week and weekend to go. Friday's schedule is jam packed with goodness, causing committee members to make some really hard decisions about what WE are going to go to. But it's all going to be great and there's more details on our website!

Here's what's happening today, Thursday 12 March. Sorry we're a little bit late with this posting, but the chair yoga session was very excellent and will be repeated on Monday evening and Wednesday lunchtime if you'd like to join us for some lovely stretching. All details on our website as usual!
