Mr TeAotonga said more than 50 members marched in the group, exceeding the set maximum.
“We provided them with costumes and props and had a choreographed marching routine,” he said.
“We marched with enthusiasm and pride, with four councillors joining us.”
Mayor Trevor Vaughan said the town supported the gay community last year and did a month of engagement with the community on how to support them this year.
“We’re an inclusive and equitable community and town,” he said.
