The NZPFU encourages members to participate and support the annual Wellington Pride Parade which will take place on Saturday 7 March 2020 6pm to 10pm.

This year the Pride Parade theme is “Water! Dive into your Pride | Te Wai – Tō Mana. Whakarukuhia!” which is aimed at promoting water, life, motion, renewal, reflection, growth, and encouraging creativity. Last year FENZ personnel and their families marched down Courtney Place with three kitted out fire trucks.
