Matariki - A community celebration of light

Witness the unveiling of our new lighting installation, enhancing the beauty of our beloved tree. Let its brilliance symbolize the guiding light of Matariki as we embark on a journey of reflection and renewal.

Take part in a special blessing by represenatives of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.

Kai: Indulge in the flavors of Aotearoa with delicious kai, culinary delights that celebrate our coastal heritage. Savor the richness of local cuisine as you mingle with fellow stargazers and share stories under the night sky.

Live Music: Feel the rhythm of the night with live performances by local musicians Goodspace and Od.Cass (aka Rewind Fields) adding soulful melodies to our festivities. 

Children’s Activity: Engage the tamariki in a fun and safe LED candle activity, where they can create their own miniature constellations, honoring the stars of Matariki.
