UPDATE
We’re bent but we’re not broken!
You’ve probably guessed by now that we’ve had to change things up for our festival due to Covid-19 restrictions.*
In the interests of public and community safety we’ve cancelled the parade, the dance, the dog show and picnic. BUT.... and it’s a beautiful but...
...The Paekākāriki Pride Festival will still go ahead in some form. Watch this space for updates.
*[The purpose of our small but perfectly formed festival is to create safe and inclusive spaces where folks can connect and celebrate our wonderful Rainbow communities, identities, histories and vision for our futures. One of the most important elements is the ability to hold gatherings where people can meet, mingle, hug, and connect. We realise the danger to the health and safety of our communities of being in close proximity to one another at this time.]*Paekakariki Pride Festival 2021 - Labour Weekend 23rd - 25th October

Nau mai, haere mai ki Paekakariki
Nga mihi ki te whare tupuna
Nga mihi ki a Papatūānuku
Nga mihi ki te hunga mate
Nga mihi ki te hunga ora
Nga mihi ki Ngati Haumia
Tena koutou tena koutou
Tena koutou katoa
