Matariki Festival

On 22 June the Matariki star cluster rises into the skies signalling the beginning of a month of celebration and entertainment, which brings a modern take to ancient Māori tradition.

Auckland comes alive with a series of concerts, family events and traditional celebrations. From art exhibits, kapa haka, contemporary dance and kite flying there is something for everyone to enjoy.
