Event description

Join us at The Arts Village Rotorua on the 19th and 20th of June 2025 for a spectacular outdoor light exhibition inspired by Matariki, the Māori New Year. Te Pō Kitakita: Exhibition of Light invites our community to gather under the stars for two unforgettable evenings of light-based art, and creative celebration.

This vibrant event honours the rising of the Matariki star cluster — a time of reflection, renewal, and connection to whānau, whenua, and wairua. Through a diverse range of light installations, interactive displays, and performances, we will celebrate the beauty of Māori culture and its rich traditions while creating a welcoming, inclusive space for all.

Featuring works by local artists, kura, and community groups, Te Pō Kitakita will transform The Arts Village green into a radiant hub of creativity and cultural exchange. Visitors of all ages can enjoy interactive light sculptures, live music and hands-on workshops, while exploring the deeper significance of Matariki through art and storytelling.

Free entry, this event is open to all. Bring your whānau, friends, and tamariki — and be part of this luminous celebration of culture, creativity, and community.
