Don’t miss this newly created pop-up music series called Horotiu, remembering the iconic Waihorotiu Stream flowing beneath our pavements.

For two weeks throughout the festival, contemporary Māori and Pasifika artists will thrill midtown audiences with live music and waiata in Queen Street.

Exciting performances are expected to pause the city centre’s hustle and bustle for a moment of celebration as part of Matariki ki te Manawa.
