Matariki Celebrations! A fine lineup of Māori artists playing into the Māori New Year!

About this event

Tēnā koutou,

We come together for Matariki as a whānau of Karangahape district as part of Te Karanga a Hape celebrations across the street.

As we observe our first Matariki public holiday, gather with friends and whānau to celebrate the Māori new year and learn more about Matariki – a time to remember loved ones, plan for the future, celebrate the present and honour ancestors.

Join us for a night of local Māori musicians under one whare.

Neck of the woods kindly plays host to a local line up of Māori artists here:

Matariki represents a time of rebirth, reflection and gives us some insight into how to move forward.
