Auckland Pride - Our March had 7000 people marching up Queen St in Auckland's CBD celebrating their community.
While Pride festivals worldwide were cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Auckland Pride was one of the last to go ahead before the world locked down.
Now it looks to be one of the first to return in all its glory, with more than 200 events taking place throughout the month of February.
Pride director Max Tweedie, who became involved with the festival after the restructuring of the board in 2018, said he wanted to create a festival where money wasn’t a barrier for anyone in the rainbow community.
