We can’t say it enough...Our volunteers are simply the best in the world. 🌏💜

A massive thank you to each and every one of you who joined us for Wānaka Pride Week. From transforming the Lake Wānaka Centre, cooking up a storm on the sausage sizzle, painting signs, washing dishes, setting up and packing down, baking cakes, running raffles and keeping things flowing – you made the magic happen.

Wānaka Pride Week wouldn’t be possible without your aroha, creativity and mahi. We’re beyond grateful. 🌈 (Next year, we 100% need to coordinate a group photo during the Pride Street Party!)

At the end of Pride Week, our Wānaka Pride sign, created for the inaugural Wānaka Pride Week back in 2023 by our epic volunteers, was sadly destroyed and dumped in Bullock Creek. We also heard of a couple of homophobic comments in town on Saturday night, but luckily other community members stepped in.

It’s not nice to see things like this happen, but what really stands out is how much aroha and support we felt throughout the week. Thank you to everyone who helped make Pride a safe and special space for our community to come together and celebrate.

We’ll be rebuilding the sign, ready to stand proud again next year. 🌈

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a whole week since our Pride Street Party! This weekend feels a lot quieter, but we’re still buzzing from all the colour, energy and aroha that filled Wānaka Pride Week. 🌈

Now we’d love to hear from you. Whether you joined us for one event or came along to them all, your feedback really matters. 🫶 It helps us celebrate what went well and keep growing Pride Week for the future.

We'd be super grateful if you could take a few minutes to fill out our feedback form, thank you.
