Throughout Pride Month 2026, Village Collective engaged with more than 300+ Rainbow+ Pasifika community members, whanau, and allies across a range of events and activations. 

From Big Gay Out and Auckland Pride Out the Gutter celebrations to a dedicated community day at Nathan Homestead Pukepuke, participants took part in health and wellbeing activities, meaningful talanoa, and opportunities to connect.

Workshops including The Art of Lip Sync, Vogue Femme Workshop, and Siva Samoa created spaces for expression, confidence, and belonging, highlighting the importance of culturally affirming environments that support the wellbeing of Rainbow+ Pasifika communities.
