Paekākāriki Pride Festival

A Rainbow​ in the Village

Festival Programme 2022


Thurs 20th Oct 7pm-9pm

St Peter's Village Hall, Paekākāriki

MAN LESSONS: T​HE LIVE SHOW - Postponed due to Covid


by Adam Rohe & Ben Sarten

St Peter's Village Hall, Paekākāriki

Adam Rohe is a transgender actor, director and clown, seen in Aotearoa fe​ature film Rūrangi, as well as dozens of progressive and powerful stage shows across the country. Over the last six years, a feature film has been in the making about his own life and gender transition. A bold, and beautiful film about building mental health and crafting your own narrative. Close friend and filmmaker Ben Sarten has followed Adam through doctor’s appointments, surgeries, psychosis, and the day-to-day. Over the years, hours of footage have been collated and not all of it will make the cut… But it makes excellent theatre.

True Colours: Meet & Mingle - Held on the Deck at Finns

Finn's Hotel & Restaurant

2 Beach Road, Paekākāriki


Join our fabulous host Duane for a Meet & Mingle with a twist. We are celebrating five years of Pride in Kapiti and the village will be buzzing.

True Colours is a friendly, all inclusive, low-key event to meet up with old friends or make new ones. It's about being yourself and letting your true colours shine with queer communities, whanau and allies.

Grab yourself a meal in the restaurant, some bar snacks and a cheeky drink or two, or just hang out with friends, whanau and friendly locals. If it's sunny you can sit on the deck and watch the colours of the sun set on the hills.

Whatever your idea of a good night is, you'll find it at this event.
