We've moved our event registrations to Eventotron! You'll need to sign up for a free account, find Auckland Pride Festival under 'festivals', and either add your event that already exists in Eventotron, or 'create new event' to get started.

You can start an Eventotron registration with just an event name and email address! You'll need:

• An idea of the kind of space you'd like to perform in
• A short blurb to send to venues you're approaching

To complete the registration you will need to have the following things confirmed:

• An event and confirmed venue
• Your event/performance date(s), times and ticket price
• The chosen contact name and contact details for all Auckland Pride correspondence
• An image for your event
• Artwork for web listing
• Artwork for print programme (if registered before the 30 November cut off)
• A description of your event for web and printed programme listings
• Payment for your event registration

The highly collectible, tabloid size, official Auckland Pride Print Programme will be printed and distributed in January and will be in the hands of LGBTIQ+ Rainbow communities throughout Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

We're aiming to print 10,000 copies – with city-wide distribution through Auckland Council Proud Centres, cafés, retail spaces, theatres and of course distribution at major Auckland Pride Festival events.

Accessibility isn’t just nice to have — it’s essential. Join Arts Access Aotearoa and Auckland Pride for a practical workshop on how to make your event welcoming and inclusive for everyone, including disabled and neurodiverse communities. We'll cover topics including like low/no cost accessibility solutions, budget and funding and marketing considerations.

This is an in-person session hosted at the D*List Community Hub, open to all artists, producers, and organisers planning events for the Auckland Pride Festival (and beyond). Facilitated by Katie Querin and Stace Robertson from Arts Access Aotearoa. Auckland Pride will also be on hand to help answer any questions around event registration and general Festival planning advice.
