Queenstown Winter Pride 2025

Info

Queenstown Winter Pride takes place from the 15th to 24 August 2025.

We’re hard at work planning a wide variety of events - including some of our favourite parties, ski & on-mountain events, après ski, game nights, drag, and more action packed festival days. Furthermore, we can’t wait to see you in Queenstown and Central Otago for an awesome, pride-filled festival. Winter Pride is a festival in a small town with a bold heart. Each year, we come together to celebrate love, community, diversity, visibility, safety, and inclusion. It is a festival that not only encourages our rainbow community but also invites the entire town to come together and celebrate diversity.

Packed with amazing events, with talent line-ups including some of our best loved Australasian DJs, dance parties, skiing, snow boarding and mountain walks, the festival is the perfect week for people to show their true selves in an accepting, supportive and fun community. Our annual week of festivities includes a huge variety of both on and off mountain events ensuring there is something for everyone. Our shows and creative events provide an amazing array of entertainment and our community series gives back to local youth and charities. Join us for our celebration of love and community.
