Two of the bigger events at the first ever Wellington Pride Festival have been cancelled. BATS Theatre, Wellington Pride in Progress at the BATS Theatre and closing theatre show Bits have been taken off the Wellington Pride Festival | | Tū whakahīhī e Te Whanganui-ā-Tara lineup as there wasn’t enough time to pull together the show, with different performer schedules not quite allowing for enough preparation time. Co-Chair of Out Wellington Inc says it is a shame that two of the big events of the festival will no longer be taking place but she understands it would have been difficult for both groups to have pulled something together in a small amount of time. Bits will be running the show in April instead to allow them more time to prepare. The Wellington Pride Festival | | Tū whakahīhī e Te Whanganui-ā-Tara kicks off tomorrow with the grand opening event at Parliament.
