Registrations are now open for the 2016 Pride Parade which is set to be held on 20 February. Expressions of interest can be sent to Float Registrations Co-ordinator Baz Bloomfield at baz@aucklandpridefestival.org.nz The first of two Auckland Pride Festival community forums was held last month offering the pubic a chance to voice their thoughts and ask questions of the Pride board. Concerns raised at this meeting included the cost of the parade. In particular No Pride in Prisons say they were unable to afford this year’s parade entrance fee and mentioned that allowances for community groups to march in the Parade were not well advertised. The next community forum meeting is to be held on 14 November.
