Auckland's own gay pride extravaganza, the Hero Parade, is the showcase for the Hero organization, a gay and lesbian group. The organization is beign reorganized, and therefore the future of the parade is a bit up in the air. Usually, the February parade and street party wends its way along the restaurant strip of Ponsonby Road, closing the street to traffic and drawing massive crowds. The marching boys are always a crowd favourite, putting on a very slick performance. None can match the glamour of the drag queens, who dust off their finest outfits for this great night out.
