This Pride season, Aunty’s House are back in Sandringham to celebrate queer joy, connection, and the South Asian creative community in the open air. 🧺🎶
Rainbows in the Reserve is a FREE, family-friendly Chai Session designed as a cosy queer picnic vibe - think delicious take-aways from the local Sandringham strip, laying down your picnic mat in the reserve, chai in hand, performances from local South Asian artists, market stalls to wander through, and a whole lot of aroha. 🦋✨
Settle in with your friends, your family, your chosen whānau, or come solo and make new connections. This is a warm, welcoming kaupapa made for and by us. 🫶🏽
🗓 When: Friday 20th February 2026
📍 Where: Sandringham Reserve, 598 Sandringham Road, Tamaki Makaurau
⏰ Time: 5–8pm | Performances: 6–7:30pm
💸 Cost: Free to attend
🛡 Safer Space Event: Inclusive for all who resonate with Aunty’s House Safer Space Agreements, with South Asian, BIPOC & queer priority. Please read the Safer Space Agreements here - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy_2EuBSE0J/?img_index=1
This event is led by Aunty's House (IG: @auntysh0use), in collaboration with Indian Origin Pride and SPiCE
Proudly part of Auckland Pride Festival 2026
