Winter Pride New Zealand 2023

Whether you're an avid skier or just looking for a good party, Winter Pride Week has it all. Every year, the gorgeous mountains of Queenstown, New Zealand attract thousands of queer folks who want to enjoy the snow.

What: Winter Pride Week constitutes a series of dance parties and winter-themed events that span the entire city of Queenstown. The area is known for attracting adventure enthusiasts, so you can expect lots of great skiing events that cater to that crowd. However, there's also plenty of debauchery to be found.

The week's events include a karaoke night, a wine tour, a talent show, and a leather night. The "locker room" event is an especially fun affair.

Where: While Pride Week encompasses the entirety of Queenstown, we suggest booking a hotel at the Rees, Novotel, Scenic Suites, or Copthorne Hotel.
