Central Christchurch received a colourful makeover as the city geared up to celebrate its LGBTQIA+ community.
The team at Christchurch Pride have organised a jam-packed 10 days of events to celebrate all things queer, including a sold-out Queers at Sea charter boat trip, Qtopia Pride Ball and a Heroes vs Police touch rugby game to name a few.
The third annual Pride week celebrations kicked off today with the rainbow community coming out in force to strut their stuff down Cashel St for the event's opening Walk for Support parade.
