This Is Me - Whanganui Pride Week 2026

Join us for an evening of real stories, honest conversations, and shared experiences as our speakers explore the many ways gender, sexuality and identity shaped their lives.
This year’s event features voices from across our community, including reflections on coming out later in life, navigating self-discovery as an adult, and the joys and challenges of raising a child in a same-sex family.
Through personal storytelling, our speakers will share moments of courage, connection, heartbreak, humour, and pride. Together, these conversations create space for understanding, visibility, and community; reminding us that there’s no single way to be queer, no timeline for becoming yourself, and no one path to building a family or a life you love.
Come along to listen, learn, reflect, and celebrate the richness and diversity of our LGBTTQIA+ community through the power of lived experience.

Note: To ensure safety for the speakers and attendees - there will be no door sales available - only pre-purchased tickets. Any questions, email; [email protected]
