This one’s for the early birds!

Winter Pride KICKSTART is a pre-festival celebration for those keen party-goers already in town and raring to go on Friday August 26th.

Reconnect with old friends, make some new ones, and start planning your perfect Winter Pride festival experience. We’ve got resident DJs dishing up great tunes all night, delicious drinks on tap and good company to boot!

KICKSTART also serves as a great opportunity to meet the Winter Pride crew - catch our team members floating around to touch base and ask any questions you may have about the upcoming week. We can’t wait to meet you.

We’ll be starting up our festival in style with this gig at Smiths Craft Beer Bar in the heart of Queenstown. In addition to being a great venue, Smith is also a proud Pride Pledge supporter, committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTTQIA+ visitors.
