With an ‘All We Need Is Love’ theme the Parade will return in February to paint Ponsonby Road rainbow!
The Auckland Rainbow Parade will return to bring diversity, unity, respect, celebration, and inclusion on Saturday 15 February 2025 – basking in the glow of Valentine’s Day (14 Feb).
Show your support for marginalised communities by wearing your most colourful clothes, sprinkle some glitter, wave those rainbow flags and bring the whole family to dance, smile and enjoy the pizzazz that the Parade brings!
There will be representatives from all colours of the Rainbow communities, public services and corporate businesses showing their commitment to a community that is inclusive and diverse with energy, creativity, humour and fun.
Parade Event Manager Shaughan Woodcock says, “This is one of the most colourful parades in Auckland and in a world that seems to be becoming more divided, there’s something special when you bring everyone together to celebrate love and kindness no matter what colour you identify with. It’s a vibrant spectacle that defines the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and it is well worth celebrating!”
