Join us for a special celebration under the stars as we light up our community reserve in honour of Matariki, the Māori New Year. Together, let's honour the traditions of Matariki while embracing the importance of safety and community. Bring your friends, family, and a sense of wonder as we illuminate the night and welcome the new year with open arms.
What to expect:
Hot soup: Join us for a humble fare of hot soup and bread, tea and coffee.
Live Music: Feel the rhythm of the night with live performances by local musicians, adding soulful melodies to our festivities. Plus, enjoy a curated playlist of Matariki-inspired tunes throughout the evening.
Children’s Activity: Engage the tamariki in a fun LED candle activity, where they can create their own miniature constellations, honoring the stars of Matariki.
Message Stars: Write messages on little wooden stars and hang them on our community tree. Share your memories, wishes for the future, and reflections inspired by Matariki, creating a beautiful tapestry of hopes and dreams that honours the spirit of remembrance and renewal.
