Te Rā o Waitangi - Waitangi Day 2025

Come together this Te Rā o Waitangi by visiting He Tohu to see the nine original sheets of 1840 Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Treaty of Waitangi. Join a bilingual tour, watch a Waitangi Day film compilation from Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision and reflect on what te Tiriti o Waitangi means to you.

There will be activities for tamariki, rangatahi, and pakeke (adults) throughout the day. Join reorua (bilingual) tours to learn more about Te Tiriti signings, brush up your whakahua te reo Māori (pronunciation), sing waiata, design your own unique tohu (mark/signature) like the rangatira, and reflect on what Te Tiriti means to you.

HOME Café will be open from 10am to 2pm, City Gallery Wellington from 10am to 4pm, and our shop Te Āmiki and other gallery spaces will be open until 4pm.
