Our Matariki celebrations spill out into Freyberg square with an evening of manaakitanga and entertainment as we engage with the traditional space of the Whare Tāpere (House of Entertainment).
Join us for a shared meal of traditional Māori kai, with hangi, soups and fry bread for all to share in.
The Mighty Herbsmen bring the vibes with a full band performance in the square from 5:30pm and an acoustic jam at 7pm.
Relax, connect, get a groove on, enjoy some kai and take part in some traditional Māori games out in the square to warm up the evening.
Fun for the whole whānau, join us for a community celebration and share in the Te Ao Māori experiences this Matariki season.
