Matariki Events 2025

Matariki, also known as the "rising of the star constellation," holds deep significance in the Māori calendar as it marks the beginning of the Māori New Year.

This time of celebration offers a special opportunity for communities to come together, reflect on the past, and set intentions for the year ahead. The festivities are filled with feasting, storytelling, song, dance, and various cultural activities, all of which highlight the rich heritage of the Māori people. It’s a moment to honor the land, sea, and sky that nurture us, and to celebrate the interconnectedness of all living things.
