over 40 entries, the Auckland Pride Parade is the highlight of the Auckland

This
year’s Auckland Pride Parade theme is ‘One Community’, reflecting a Rainbow
Community that is one in its diversity and a community that has its place
within the wider community. Expect explosions of colour, flashing sequins, over
the top drag queens, hot toned bodies, wild dancing, fantastic music and even a
full choir performing live on the back of a truck – all happening on a stage
over 1.5kms long!
The
Auckland Pride Parade route travels in a northerly direction up Ponsonby Road
from Western Park to Three Lamps. Ponsonby Road and all adjoining streets will
be closed to traffic from midday till 9pm. All day parking restrictions apply
on Ponsonby Road and all adjoining roads.

Michael
Richardson, GABA President says: `GABA is very happy to be working with the
Auckland Pride Board and to be involved with the new Pride festival in a
meaningful way. The GlamStand will provide grand-stand seating for GABA members
and invited guests including VIPs. The format is consistent with other pride
parades and similar events run internationally with great success. We believe
there will be demand for high-quality seating and facilities and this is an
opportunity to enhance the profile of Auckland Pride, GABA, and the wider gay
community. Any profits will go to the GABA Charitable Trust.’
