A Rainbow in the Village — Paekakariki Pride

A Rainbow in the Village is Paekakariki's annual LGBTQ+ community celebration — one of New Zealand's smallest and most charming pride events, held in this tiny seaside village north of Wellington. The event has become a beloved fixture in the Wellington region's queer calendar: a village fete meets pride march, with rainbow flags on every fence, community stalls, live music, and the extraordinary backdrop of the Kāpiti Coast beach and the Tasman Sea. Proof that pride is beautiful at any scale.
