Pride Week is organised by Pride Whanganui.
The week begins with an art exhibition and seminars on Monday, 2 March and ends on Sunday, 8 March with a family festival.
Pride Whanganui is a community initiative that is striving to create an inclusive Whanganui for the LGBTQIA+ community that live in and visit Whanganui.
It is hoping to establish more resources, create better health care processes, encourage regular events and project a sense of understanding and an eradication of ignorance.
Events will be held at various locations around Whanganui.
Most events are free or a koha entry. Please check the Events link for details.
